"Enough" is doing a fucking ton of heavy lifting there. You cannot explain a terabyte of floating point numbers. Same way you cannot guarantee a specific doctor or MRI technician isn't racist.
A single drop of water contains billions of molecules, and yet, we can explain a river. Maybe you should try applying yourself. The field of hydrology awaits you.
No, we cannot explain a river, or the atmosphere. Hence weather forecast is good for a few days and even after massive computer simulations, aircraft/cars/ships still need to do tunnel testing and real life testing. Because we only can approximate the real thing in our model.
You can't explain a river? It goes down hill.
I understand that complicated things frieghten you, Tja, but I don't understand what any of this has to do with being unsatisfied when an insurance company denies your claim and all they have to say is "the big robot said no.. uh... leave now?"
