Have you ever walked into an ice cream shop? 
You know what flavor you like the best but decide to try Rocky Road anyway. Just to be safe- as a necessary precaution. So that you know that you’re consistently making the right decision by choosing another. It’s not about finding a better flavor, necessarily.
