Fallacy.

Sparseness could, theoretically, follow from mental discipline and
clarity.....not the other way around.

you are correct


......assuming you have a perfect grasp of every
contingency in advance.

Good luck with that.

When the trip is expected to last from late May until mid-Oct, it IS very
difficult to get that perfect grasp


who won't bother to go into what a bit of experience should result in.


Well, I've been trying to use my experience to make judgements, but it's not
always a clear indicator, to someone of my limited capacity

an example ( not that you give a **** ) .... I own two WaterMaster kickboats
and each of the last 5 summers I have taken both with me. I HAVE used
both at once a few times when I met other anglers that wanted to float a
river and work together on shuttle, once when a nice guy I met wanted to try
Hebgen, i.e. I loaned out the second one ... such times saved me money for
shuttle, and added companionship to the day,.... thus "take the extra one"
seems to follow experience. But, the last two trips I've never taken the
second one out of the truck ... so "leave the extra one home" also makes
sense, based on experience.
