This is awesome. "Seldom do more than a few of nature’s secrets give way at one time."
Resonates with the application of (to practitioners) blackbox ML techniques to other domains. I saw an economist stuff an XGBoost model into a talk about demand elasticity a couple years ago. I think there can be insight generated by casting a wide net in applying new methods, but the really fundamental breakthroughs seem to be generated by careful and informed application of the scientific method.
