Biological evolution doesn’t do any special testing except reward whatever survives. And it works fine. Marketplaces implement the same algorithm faster and effectively.

There are many ways to find truth besides math and science.

Obviously, those two are the gold standard for difficult questions.

But when time is short (competitors at your heels), rewards are fast (lots of hype fueling prospective customers), and the tech isn’t even that hard (deep learning isn’t rocket science, lots of good ideas are panning out), then any organization that needs to acquire its own resources to survive should operate on a try-evaluate-ship loop as fast as they can.

Occasional missteps won’t be nearly as fatal as being slow and irrelevant.
