Agreed. This is referred to in the field of physics as "spherical cow in a vacuum": an attempt to model a very complex system using an overly simplified and unrealistic model in an effort to "solve" a problem. The resulting model doesn't actually describe the real world, but one can feel good about "solving" the problem, at least until one tries their solution in the complex, real world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cow
