Default Behavioral Finance

What are the pros/cons of studying behavioral finance as opposed to rational finance? Is there much value here (outside of academia)?

I've read basic articles on the subject (such as from investopedia) but was wondering how it translates into real world usefulness.

It seems it might be pretty solid at explaining the past but not necessarily good at predicting the future. Is this a relatively fair statement?
