Lots of things, and indeed humans, are also as non-deterministic; I absolutely do use experience working with humans and non-deterministic things to improve my future interactions with them.

Table saws are kinda infamous in this regard: you may say that kick-back is hidden state/incomplete information rather than non-deterministic, but in practice the impact is the same.
