To take a sideswipe at this, I wonder what are the possible gains of scientific investigation of "how" we make decisions? Apart from it being very interesting, of course.

I'm not trying to be dismissive, I find it a fascinating subject, but I'm a bit vague about what practical uses any conclusion could have. Any thoughts?
