Human action is entirely causally dependent on human psychology vis a vis biology, of which we have now only a rudimentary formal understanding and certainly not a sufficient model of its structure, let alone the relation between its aspects and the resulting actions.

At the same time, statistical methods are interesting and suggestive but should be understood at the relatively coarse level they inhabit.

Both approaches have their uses and it is worth delineating the boundary between their respective appropriate contexts.
