So, what does belong here, then? "Anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." This certainly gratifies mine, as it's another example of how behaviors can be explained through game theory as well as replacing - or at least adding to - what I previously thought was the explanation (it forces cashers to open the till, reducing the chance for thievery).
This article also doesn't fall under the things which don't belong here: "Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." Just because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean that it doesn't belong here.
Also, as long as I'm quoting the guidelines at you, "Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it ... If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."
