Let me put my reply another way: we can observe the behavior of masses of people, and ask why millions went to this movie instead of thousands, or why a car sold well in one country and not another.
So there is actually a lot of observed behavior to look at. If you step back and examine it en masse, there are actually some generalizations that you can safely make. Enough so that there are plenty of folks who make a good living doing just that. And if we want to be persons of insight (Proverbs 20:5) we might learn something from them, as well. If we think that we are too spiritual to learn, then we learn little if at all.
