Good point about sunk costs, but the real kicker is how we let past choices mess with future logic. It's not just wasted cash we're clinging to, it's the idea that maybe, just maybe, that tool will magically work better tomorrow. My garage is a museum of 'I'll fix it someday' projects that never happen. Our brains hate feeling dumb, so we double down on bad bets instead of cutting losses. Funny how a simple economic idea explains why my shelf is full of crap I never use.

Consider using one if safety matters for your kitchen experiments.
