"You shouldn't find yourself distinguishing the winning choice from the reasonable choice."

I disagree. Let's say there's box A with $1000 dollars in it, and box B with $10,000 in it 1% of the time, and you can only pick one. If i pick A and my friend picks B, and they get the $10,000, they might say to me that I should wish I was like them. But I'll defend my choice as reasonable, even though it wasn't the winning choice that time.
