The explicit assumption

A plan depends on an unconfirmed opening time.

Short journal · Original editorial · Decisions with a return path

A plan depends on an unconfirmed opening time.

A decision can be proportionate to its consequences. Describe the choice, the available evidence, and whether it can be changed. A small reversible trial can answer a different question from a permanent commitment; keep those questions separate.

Verify that assumption before arranging the rest of the visit.

Leave an easy return path where possible. Changing a method should not require pretending the earlier attempt never existed.
