1. Not enough data? Petabytes of data. There is so much data that it is a specialization to handle the data.
2. We can't study open systems? Really. There are a lot of engineers might be wondering why they bothered studying doing it, if it can't be done.
3. Nothing matters that can't be an experiment? So all of Biology and Astronomy, anything with observations but no experiments, all worthless?
In life, some models have a few well defined variables, and some models have millions and are pretty fuzzy. To say one branch of science is a joke, because in your world, things are nice and pretty, is what is wrong.
- slily 3y agoSo because climate is hard to model, it's unfair to expect models to be reliable, so we shouldn't criticize environmental doomsayers spreading bullshit projections that guide government policies before getting inevitably retracted when they are proven wrong again and again? Am I reading that right?
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoNo you are not. You can't call it a joke, if models are continually improving and making steadily more accurate predictions and the accuracy is quantifiable. You are just making the same error in opposite direction. Lets ignore any results because it is just so complicated it can't possibly be correct.
