> they trained a neural net on a vast dataset of decisions people took in 10,000 risky choice scenarios, then compared how accurately it predicted further decisions with respect to prospect theory. They found that prospect theory did pretty well, but the neural net showed its worth in highlighting where the theory broke down, that is, where its predictions failed.
Err, what now? The neural net now substitutes for experiments as well? Replication crisis solved, I guess. Just don't deal with humans at all and social science finally makes working predictions!
