I would have really liked to have a temporary node to test the outputs.
Better than that, I would have liked to see the truth table update in real time without running the tests.
The mindset I use is to believe (without evidence) that a solution exists. That allows me to see solutions faster because I'm not fighting with myself.
Put yourself into the world where the solution exists.
Another thing to consider is that while a utility function may exist, completing as fast as possible may not a requirement. Waiting until biological life is no longer feasible before proceeding to fully optimize the utility function would allow us to both coexist.
