heh thanks for the feedback!
The point is that the government would secretly fund a company...say Company X. All bystanders would see, is a sweet game produced by Company X.
The stats would be embeded into the game and stored secretly on a government server elsewhere. People playing the game would not even KNOW that their decisions are being mapped by government scientists. Then the government picks a good sample of individuals that play the game. The government would secretly observe the selected individuals via camera/bugs/etc. Similar situations from the game will confront these test individuals.
The point of these test situations is to note if the test individual made the same choice as the exact same situation in the game. My bet is that if the decision is a simple choice, that the individual will choose the exact same thing. With data like this collected, eventually predicting an individual's decision would become childsplay.
The game is just to market a large audience. Company X would be able to market the game as the next big and pretty game. Several kids would want to play a game that was like real life, but you could do anything. Look at the sales of GTA3...people like that sort of game. Put in some educational value, throw in a few gimmics, and back the game up with bogus government "its just what the healthy kid needs" studies; then Company X will be able to market towards parents or even schools.
