> Yes, but my model will be finished long before you have discovered your fourth parameter This attitude is one of the issues I encounter among data scientists which limits their impact in business to lower ticket decisions (like individual recommendation systems) vs. bigger budget allocation decisions in business and the same is the case with physics. Being able to explain drivers and protecting against catastrophic overfit failure is much more important than getting a great predictive fit in a limited dataset.
