Why Probability Theory Should be Thrown Under the Bus

So, what's Yann LeCun talking about when he says "he's ready to throw Probability Theory under the bus"? This article attempts to explore this sentiment. The problem with Probability Theory has to do with its efficacy in making predictions. It's obvious that the distributions are different, unfortunately the statistical measures are identical! Said differently, if the basis of your predictions are expectations calculated from probability distributions, then you can very easily be fooled.
