I don't agree with this framing. A person's opinion of what a "good" or "right" outcome is is one of the inputs to the algorithm.

When you decide to put in less effort it's affecting the algorithm because the weight of the high-effort outcome is reduced.

The trouble is, you see, that if you do know Right from Wrong you can't choose Wrong. You just can't do it and live.
