The problem I have with it is its usefulness, as the speaker basically said that if the answer didn't match observations then that just meant the constraints were wrong (or possibly the prior - he did not insist on a uniform one) which implies it doesn't have any practical predictive value, as there seems no way of knowing which constraints are the right ones other than by checking if the answer looks good...
