trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim
Exponential discounting is the only time-consistent model of rational choice
the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
confidence 12/100

The claim that exponential discounting is the only time-consistent model of rational choice is refuted by both theoretical work and empirical evidence showing that alternative formulations such as hyperbolic discounting and reward-rate maximization are also consistent with rational choice.

Shows that reward-rate maximization yields a discounting function combining hyperbolic and linear components, proving exponential discounting is not uniquely required for rationality.
