Do you really suggest that programmers should devote their learning time
to study astrology for knowing what the phases of the moon are? And for
predicting the future too, I guess.

I'm seeing the new fad that will replace Machine Learning:
Astrology-based Event Anticipation.

Seriously, all current scientific fields with a long enough historic
background have their roots on superstition and story-telling. The
phases of the moon is a perfectly fine astronomic concept. There is no
need to waste time on learning fake knowledge, except for the sake of
studying fake knowledge itself, that is.
