"a requirement that they give reasons for their decisions" But this is mostly a sham. People lie about their reasons for doing things, even to themselves. Especially when they know what reasons are publicly acceptable. Maybe the major difference is that it's much easier to run experiments on computers. I mean people try this on humans but it's very hard to do realistically: most of those studies where you submit 1000 CVs with varying details are garbage, because they can only access an unrealistic part of the process (I mean who ever got a job without networking? etc). Whereas on almost any computer system you feed it completely realistic fake data.
