Expected value is only as honest as the inputs

Multiplying a made-up probability by a made-up payoff does not create a fact. It creates a formatted guess.

When it helps

When you can name scenarios, rough magnitudes, and why a likelihood is not a shrug. The record should show the assumptions.

When it misleads

Investment and strategy decks that hide the guess inside a single number. Argumont would rather show the assumption than launder it.

Limits

This is not investment advice. Expected value does not tell you what to buy.
