By applying deterministic rules to a system an edge case would affect all users.
By introducing variance and enabling the system to adapt, the edge cases would be, in a way, self correcting and more resilient.
The idea is to add an element of randomness to the decision making. I don't mean to pick random decisions, but when there are decisions that weight approximately the same it should pick the decision based on personality/mood. This would enable the algorithm to adapt and be flexible, instead of a deterministic algorithm that could cause chain unoptimal behavior.
