You have to have complicated scientists around to construct any scientific model—be it utility-based or ANN.
Since we have plenty of scientists around, I don’t see much point in hypothesizing that there aren’t any.
You seem to be implying that the complexity of utility based models lies in those who invent or use them. That seems to be mostly wrong to me: it doesn’t matter who invented them, and fairly simple computer programs can still use them.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s only simpler if you already have a general-purpose optimizer ready to hand—in this case, you.

If you’ve seen it work, I’ll take your word for it.
