Probably he doesn't understand that.  He is a much better player than
analyst.  I was struck by how many plays Monty got exactly right.  He
played a few blunders by handling the cube too cautiously.  Perhaps he
can modify this by saying to himself "If I don't think it's an
absolutely clear drop, I'll take.  If I think there's any chance at
all that a double is correct, then I'll double."
Since his cube handling errors almost all seem to be in the too-
cautious category, improvement would seem easier than for someone
whose errors were more erratic.
