Understood.
I know others have been around this loop a few times, and the points raised are usually very consistent, but I always find it difficult to reconcile how we can dismiss our 'best effort' complexity models, as merely very poor approximations of reality, whilst at the same time, we embrace them, in a manner which asserts the opposite (in terms of the reality of their predictive capabilities) (??).

It seems that we have invented something, which our brains are incapable of classifying, using reality as the reference. (And that is regardless of whether they actually represent a likeness to reality, or not !)

Cheers
