The title is very misleading. What they actually show is that a certain set of cognative biases (_not_ the same as "bad choices") that are pretty much universal can't explain differences in outcome because...well, they're pretty much universal. Also, I suspect that lack of the ability to photosynthesis, multiply twelve digit numbers in your head, or see gamma rays with your eyebrows will turn out to not explain a significant proportion of population-level economic inequality.
