Sep 3, 2017 at 15:15 comment added Aprillion it is how it's explained on wikipedia, that people are able to decide much faster that linear scanning of all of the options, e.g. using binary search when looking up an item in alphabetically sorted list

Sep 2, 2017 at 8:35 comment added Aprillion FTR logarithmically means "less than linearly" and most definitely is NOT a bad thing, quite the opposite it means you can add more options without significant increase in decision time - as long as the options are well grouped or sorted - e.g. if you clearly mark vegetarian options, the vegetarians won't care whether you offer 2 or 50 types of steak even if it might take 300ms longer to scan all the steaks to see that none of them are marked (V)
