Critique of a 'Maximum Search' Strategy
A research team developing a new language model adopts a strategy of always using the largest possible search space during text generation, arguing that this will guarantee the highest quality output. Critique this strategy. Explain why this approach is likely not optimal in a practical setting.

Strategy for a Real-Time Q&A System
A team is tuning a text generation model and has collected the following data on the trade-off between computational cost (in processing units) and output quality (on a 100-point scale) for different search configurations.
- Configuration A: Cost = 10 units, Quality = 80
- Configuration B: Cost = 20 units, Quality = 90
- Configuration C: Cost = 40 units, Quality = 94
- Configuration D: Cost = 80 units, Quality = 95
Based on this data, which configuration represents the most effective balance between improving output quality and maintaining computational feasibility?
