There are surely prize-worthy discoveries to be made about the long term behaviour of any system that can introspect previous discoveries and adjust it's behaviour.

I suspect that economics and psychology are both examples of these systems, and that, long term, these system will alter behaviour to thwart previous observations.

Economics requires observers to hoard discoveries and insights, so they can enrich themselves while the insights hold.
