Interesting argument presented in the paper, though I wouldn't frame it as "we've evolved to be inaccurate": it's really that the world can be so suddenly unpredictable that setting up strong, working paradigms of decision making in the short term can be worse in the long run than just winging it.

It's worth considering, especially in light of the authors' suggestion that we use computer/human decision-making systems to improve performance, as the world is still unpredictable, and can still break our paradigms. The biggest danger of setting up a good system to improve knowledge is that you'll think you've got a perfect one--we could improve our rationality and decision-making with computers for a long time, before an unexpected case cracks the system, and we're left floundering.
