I've got a good feeling about this. Reduced behavioral predictability seems like the odd one out compared to the other options. The principles should promote consistency and reliability, not unpredictability.

I heard the exam writers were so stumped on this one, they just threw darts at the answer choices. Bet they're feeling pretty accredited right about now.
