Is this paper formally modeling human (ir)rational decision making worth understanding?

I've found that I learn new topics best by struggling to understand a jargoney paper.  This passed through my inbox today and on the surface it appears to hit a lot of high notes.

Since I'm not an expert, I have no idea if this has any depth to it.  Hivemind thoughts?

Modeling Human Decision Making using Extended Behavior Networks, Klaus Dorer

(Note: I'm also pushing myself to post to LW instead of lurking.  If this kind of post is unwelcome, I'm happy to hear that feedback.)

Folks who are enjoying this fine Jacksonville winter: come hang out on a Sunday afternoon! I'll start things off with a mini-summary of a book I've been reading and how I apply some of the concepts in work and life. With luck we'll rapidly move on to structured discussion, unstructured discussion, and social fun and games time!

Jacksonville's a pretty big town, but not much represented in LessWrong land. I'm looking to meet folks who also live here and are similarly interested in LW / CFAR / MIRI / etc. This first meetup will likely be a socializing event - folks getting to know other folks and gauge interest. Please leave a comment if you're interested in a LW meetup in Jacksonville, even if you can't attend one in the next weeks/months. And remember, (almost) everyone is welcome, especially newbies!
