Some girls say they like Hamlet, but what they really like is the expensive bookshelf. Although man appears rather complex, we are driven by the same mechanisms as 250,000 years ago.
The same can be said in part about football, although it seems like the game is very complex, especially with social media and all the information out there, but the purpose is still to score more goals than the opponent. Usually the team with the best players wins.
Had Burnley used the same game model as Manchester City, they would have lost all their matches. This is perhaps the most complex game model in today's football. So instead, they use a model, which is admittedly limited, but which gives them the greatest probability of taking the most points. This model allows them to compete with teams that have far greater resources, so in that sense it may not be limited, but on the contrary.
So instead of reading Hamlet, you have a much better chance of getting a shag if you buy an expensive bookshelf.
