While that may be reasonable, it's less certain than choosing between
chocolate and vanilla.

The "secret" of games like this is that the required output is only 1

of bits of loosely correlated (but not independent) information,
matching against vastly more bits of "experience" within an observer
system that has practiced "getting out of the way" of the assessment.
