Short-term informs long-term, and like it or not, most people aren't super accurate precogs. Short term is the default. Long-term has to be trained and requires both experience and a lot of effort to develop and keep accurate.

I don't think this is a case of short term vs long term. Due to marketing the value of surveillance products seem obvious whereas the downsides sound like techno babble to the average user.

This is a straw man argument. GP is talking about valuing outcomes differently.
