I wouldn't say that economists have no idea about this, or that their theories aren't useful. No falling object you'll ever encounter actually matches the equation h = h0 - (1/2)gt^2 perfectly, but the equation is still useful. If the efficiency of a market is limited by computational constraints, well, we already knew it was limited by transaction costs, so while this finding is interesting it doesn't change how we should view the world.
