Priorities become real when equally attractive alternatives appear.

Anyone can state a priority when nothing is competing with it. The claim is only tested when something equally appealing appears at the same moment and one of them has to be declined. What you do then is your actual priority, and it is often not the one you named.

Pay attention to the next time two attractive options collide. Watch what you choose without editing it. Then decide whether that is the ranking you want to keep.
