Silicon Valley is famous for mantras like "move fast and break things" and implementing them through strategies like "minimum viable product" (MVP). These types of agile strategies can only work if you have the option to quit. You can't put out an MVP unless you have the ability to pull it back. The whole point is to get information quickly, so you can quit the stuff that isn't working and stick with the things that are worthwhile or develop new things that might work even better.

Outcomes don't tell us what's our fault and what isn't, what we should take credit for and what we shouldn't. Unlike in chess, we can't simply work backward from the quality of the outcome to determine the quality of our beliefs or decisions. This makes learning from outcomes a pretty haphazard process.
