… and from what I've seen lately, even the experts don't necessarily agree about the 'expected' effects of things like feedback … and what mechanisms actually constitute feedback in the real complex systems.

Sensitivity to change is also hotly debated, as are the 'initial' conditions.

Its interesting to note that without the added pressure for predictions, neither would need to be 'hotly' debated at all !
