Ironic, since the relatively recently discovered double descent makes it clear that bias-variance tradeoff as we know it from statistical learning theory simply doesn't apply to "overparameterized" deep models.

Much of old theory is barely applicable and people are, understandably, bewildered and in denial.

If someone were to be inclined to theory, I'd just recommend reading papers that don't try oversimplify the domain:
