Robustness in Operations Research and Decision Aiding 47
3) Can set ˆT of pairs (P, V ) to consider be restrictive or not (for incompatibility, lack of interest or processing time reasons) to a subset of ˆP× ˆV ?
I think it would be useful at this stage to emphasize the fact that research that is too systematic for frailty points to be affected by vague approximations and/or zones of ignorance may lead to excessive proliferation of versions and/or procedures to consider. On the other hand, an insufficient critical attitude, ignoring the saying “a man who doesn’t know that he doesn’t know thinks he knows”, can lead to reducing this proliferation excessively. In other words, it is advisable to find a compromise in each situation between these two opposite tendencies taking into account expectations of those in whose name decision aiding is occurring.
