Yeah, too many people seem to think that if we can’t predict it with out models then it can’t be possible. The truth is that models are never going to be perfect, and we’ll never be able to fully predict everything, and we’ll always be the ones that modify our models to match reality.

I chalk it up to human hubris that some people think it’s anything other than that.
