True, given so many variables involved in a horses performance and how they can differ from horse to horse and race to race, one cannot always make definitive statements regarding a horses' performance, let alone predicting if it will be repeated in another race against other horses. All we can do is go with the probabilities and the preponderance of the evidence.
Also agree that while we have made advances in research, few players are able to understand these studies and are unwilling to do so if they contradict their long held traditional beliefs. Even those with years of experience are likely to interpret both the research and their experience so as to reinforce their beliefs.
