I tried this in Warsaw with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

The framing feels off to me. Not terrible, just not convincing. I learned that one the expensive way.

That is a much better way to say it.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink tiny. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

Great point, especially the part about told. Consistency beats intensity here.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. That route sounds like type-two fun.
