A few pages back we talked about how P’s had trouble completing their shopping, always seeking more alternatives. That reminded me about the subtle difference between making a choice and making a decision: the word decide has the same root as homicide and genocide and suicide, meaning to kill. When we decide, we effectively kill off alternate choices in a situation where both choices cannot exist at the same time. For example, you cannot choose to attend both Harvard and Yale, but you can choose to purchase both pairs of shoes.

So do you think P’s have trouble choosing in general or just have trouble permanently taking alternate choices off the table by making a final selection?
