It's very useful to be able to rationally evaluate the value of various alternatives (e.g., a $500 flight credit vs less time waiting at the airport). It's also useful to remember that maximizing profit is a proxy for maximizing happiness, but it's not the same thing ...
It's very easy to test. Spend a month playing video poker, keeping your mind very simple, relying on common sense to decide what to do. Then, spend a month playing video poker making your decisions based on a serious analysis of the math and logic.
