Nobody has a choice about relying on heuristics and informally inductive guesswork much of the time. We just don’t have the data, the storage, or the computational capacity.
The interesting differences are between those who are willing and able to treat their collection of heuristics and inductive guesswork as a stopgap measure, to be modified as the situation warrants; and those who treat it as authoritative, the situation to be re-interpreted as it warrants.
