Personally, I lost a lot of respect for Peterson over that quote/interview. Clearly all models are simplifications, that's the entire point. We can't simulate reality with full fidelity, anything more than a hydrogen atom requires a simplification. Hearing Peterson directly say something non-sensical like that is an incredibly effective way to convince reasonable people that he is wrong. Much more effective than any attempt to cancel or silence him.
