But isn't this the approach Nature herself is taking?

The knowledge engine you carry in your head spends years just "learning" the world - which means, it absorbs huge amounts of input, sorting the good stuff from the bad. It "knows" what works simply because that stuff happens more often; it "knows" what doesn't work because that stuff doesn't happen very often.

And sure there are higher layers of integration there, but the whole process is strongly supported by a statistical approach.
