The lessons learned in a wicked environment are not, or at least not completely, useful for accurate application (predictions, choices, inferences, etc). Also see Kind environment.

Inference involves two settings: In the first, information is acquired (learning); in the second, it is applied (predictions or choices). […] Wicked learning environments involve mismatches.

(Hogarth, Lejarraga, and Soyer 2015)
