### *Example Input Text:*

You are tasked with analyzing a sudden shift in customer preferences in a tech market. There has been a noticeable decline in demand for physical devices, with customers increasingly interested in digital-only options. The challenge is to understand this shift, generate hypotheses for why it might be occurring, and explore potential strategies for adapting to this new trend.

---

### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
4. Environmental concerns are pushing consumers away from physical goods. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.8)
5. Advances in tech make digital-only options more functional. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.5)
6. Pandemic-era remote work increased demand for digital solutions. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.6)
7. Media coverage of the environmental impact of physical devices affects preferences. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.7)
8. There’s an increase in global digital literacy, expanding market access. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
9. Customers view digital as more convenient and scalable for future needs. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5)
10. Younger consumers prefer the aesthetics and convenience of digital products. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

*Reflection:* 
"Have I considered all possible influences? Are there any surprising factors that could explain this shift?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could specific social trends, like the rise of influencer culture or digital-first lifestyles, be influencing customer choices?"

**2.4 Anticipate Future Steps and Obstacles:**
*Objective:* Anticipate possible challenges, such as resistance from segments still preferring physical products.

*Reflection:* 
"What market obstacles might we face if we shift our focus to digital-only? Are there sub-segments that still prioritize physical products?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could expanding digital options help us reach a more global audience? Are there emerging trends that we could leverage in our strategy?"

[end sys2]

[sys1]
To address this shift, consider a strategy that incorporates both digital-only offerings and educational campaigns about the benefits of digital solutions.
Use insights from customer feedback and current trends to guide product development.
Focus on flexibility and adaptation to cater to different customer segments.

Well the OP sample might also be a rejects-valid. So there's 2 bugs here.

Ok good to know. I'm making a pull for these fixes.

The grammar and spec are often broken. The OP sample is completely valid.

No, the whole schtick of -w is that it causes warnings to be emitted at all. It's a quirk of the way it was designed that it treats them as errors - by returning a failure status code, not by the wording of the compiler output.
But it's clearly a bug that this particular warning message has the label "Error:" instead of "Warning:".
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=952
Unless it really is meant to be an error, in which case it's a bug that it is emitted only if -w is used.
> However, -wi also appears to say "Error," which definitely isn't correct.
-wi versus -w shouldn't make any difference to the wording of error messages. Only to the status code returned by the compiler if there were any warnings.

The whole point of a spec is to define the language. So if the spec makes some code illegal, then (at least for the time being) it is illegal.

That's irrelevant. I'm stating what the intended behavior is. If the compiler doesn't follow that behavior, then it's a bug.

Which is a bug.

That's normal. That's what -w does. If you don't use any compiler flags, then you get no warnings. If you use -w, you get them, but they're treated as errors. If you use -wi, then you get "informational warnings" which is what most everyone expects compilers to do normally - i.e. print the warning but not treat it as an error - but Walter Bright thinks differently about such things than many people, and his compilers often don't do what many people would consider normal. He doesn't believe in warnings in the first place. Rather, he thinks that everything should be an error or not as far as the compiler is concerned (which I very much agree with), but unfortunately, he gave in enough to create the -w flag (and eventually, the -wi flag), and when he did, he didn't follow the behavior of your average compiler, which has generated a fair bit of confusion with regards to warnings.

I mean a case statement with no statements in it. The only thing following it is another case statement or the closing brace of the switch statement. That sort of fallthrough is not supposed to generate a warning. If the grammar claims anything about empty case statements being illegal, then the spec is in error (which happens far too often).
Walter has been very clear on the intended behavior. It's a warning to have implicit fallthrough except in the situation where the case statement is empty (because it would be very annoying to have to put a whole lot of gotos in case statements which are all supposed to shared the same code by falling through). If the compiler or grammar disagree with that, then it's a bug.
Actually, looking at the most recent compiler, it's generating a deprecation message now, so it's been moved from warning to deprecated, and it _is_ generating the message for an empty case statement, which is wrong.

It's quite possible the spec has a bug. It's not perfect.
