Insightful for what, and predictive of what? I don't mean to come across combative - I am genuinely interested in the debate.
To me, a model that is vague and and intended to be predictive, is always likely to be superficially compelling - after all, gypsy women have been operating on this principle for centuries.
We want to understand ourselves, why we do what we do, why have the predilections we do, the exasperating self-defeating behaviours we can't seem to shake; and since time began we've been looking to prophets, shamans and fortune tellers to give us some special insight. I wonder whether, in this case, we aren't simply exchanged 'cross my palm with silver' for 'cross my wallet with bitcoin'.
