I have, literally a minute ago, decided a path which to take. A decision in itself does not mean any form of actualisation. Hell, the proverbial "making up your mind" does not mean anything, and no, a decision does not mean that you are "halfway there". You probably tell yourself that all the time, don't you? A decision is never causal. Period. It is an end-result of events and acts, and a possible gateway to more events and acts, but by nature, it is never a cause.
If we describe causality as the relationship between the first event and the second event, a metaphysical arising called "decision" describes the relationship between "the subjective former and the imagined latter". However, there are beings to whom a decision describes the relationship between the actual-as-they-know-it and an identified potential field. To witness such is a rare privilege, I might add. This is related to another human fallacy called "intuition", which would be best described as "a lame excuse for not understanding why a choice was made, usually in an either-or situation".
Thus, to come into a conclusion intuitively, and to make a decision based on that intuitive conclusion means clueless guessing.
A note to self: the explanation why this planet is such a dump has been discovered.
