it doesn't work for the grand claims it was supposed to help, I always loled when people tried to reverse like obesity epidemic with it, but I feel like some defenses of like, pretty architecture or whatever use nudge-like arguments maybe lack of precision is one of the problems

It's bad for big claims but good for understanding structures. Basically you can't nudge people to sainthood but you can understand common pitfalls and design systems around them

Common pitfalls are often stuff like "you have to get five copies of six forms for little to no good reason." Good BehEc is basically smacking drunken UX designers with a rolled up newspaper
