Insurance Without Classes: Knight's Grouping, Unlike Cases and the Tail Behind the Average

When Knight's insurance and grouping (Risk, Uncertainty and Profit, 1921, Chapter VIII) rely on pooling many cases, even unlike ones, so that gains and losses cancel, does a decision record written before the outcome name what the average leaves out? Read with Knight, they show the two failure conditions of grouping at work in a single decision each. They cannot show which side of the later debate is right.
