<p>For any given instance, I fully acknowledge the value of "cheap
heuristics" (e.g "profiling", "rule of thumb", "shoot from the
hip"). What I'm trying to expose is the meta-heuristic of being
a facile model builder/adopter/fitter... and how our technological
prosthetics (precut colored plexiglass and stain-by-number
patterns or GPS/routing systems that present opaque-to-the-user
preferences or predictive SDE programming environments).</p>
<p>There is also a syntax/semantics tension in your question which
seems to parallel the "ends/means" justification.</p>
