I agree that it is an “on-topic” post.  I suspect agnitio put that comment in his title to explain why he wasn’t going to go into any detail about explaining the phenomenon – he was just going to mention it.

My thing is, for an economics blog, this sort of stuff should very much be on topic. It’s useful to think about rational actors and what have you, but if we don’t also have an appreciation for the quirks of how people actually behave, what’s the point?

I wonder what other applications there might be for this knowledge (outside of sports)…

Why don’t you get Rauparaha to become your coach?
