As far as predictions go, reusing concepts from elsewhere might allow you to quickly make predictions about something with limited accuracy, but have a difficult time improving on the predictions. Without recycling understanding might take longer, but ultimately allow for more accurate predictions. Recycling seems to favor good enough solutions.
The compartmentalization parallel is interesting—I’ll have to think more about it.
