Talk:optimization

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Jump to navigation Jump to search

"as good as possible" is incorrect. Optimization is when marginal cost equals marginal benefit. "As good as possible" typically means marginal cost exceed marginal benefit, indicating a misallocation of resources. An optimization of resources cannot occur if they are misallocated. It is self-defeating.
