Imagine our world as a dark room at night. The windows are closed, and you cannot see anything. Inside the room there is furniture, equipment, expensive vases, crystal, flowers with thorns, maybe even something sharp — but you do not see it. Your goal is to find the door and leave the room. You do not know which wall the door is on, how large the room is, or where to move. You may hit furniture, cut yourself on something sharp, get injured, or break something valuable. This is how uncertainty works in real life.
Now imagine that for just 5–10 seconds the light is turned on. You immediately see where the door is. You understand how to move, what might be dangerous, and how to avoid at least some risks. After 5–10 seconds, the light goes off again. Darkness returns. But now you know which wall the door is on. You know where the corner is, where the knife is, where the vase stands. Yes, you will still move carefully, and maybe you will still bump into something. But overall, you understand the direction and can reach the exit.
Imagine a car race. At the start, the cars line up in different positions. The goal is the same — to finish first. Everyone is in the same race, with the same track and weather conditions. But the starting position matters. The one who begins closer to the front row has a higher chance of winning. It is not a guarantee — but it is an advantage.
