“This is an example of what I call “rigor theatre.” Appearing to be rigorous when you’re really not. Model rigor is desirable when a precise, exact, definitive answer to a question should determine and constrain future actions. But when it is gratuitously added, it creates extra friction for users, extra work for software developers, and a false sense of having covered your bases.”
