is this an onion article?

because an abstract idea cannot be quantified, it is therefore flawed? lol.

hey, more empiricism is always better than less empiricism. if you want to understand specific things, studying them through observation is always a better idea than applying abstract ideas. yet, then you want to argue that evolution should be described mathematically? ha! it seems to me that it's the dudes in the article that seem deductively challenged.

but studies are always better than no studies.

my guess is they'll find that the reality is too complicated to model using anything other than game theory.
