Alright. But you're equating complexity to veracity. That's just incredibly untrue.
Economics might seem like bollocks if you have a surface-level understanding of it. But the study itself uses the scientific method all the way through.
It doesn't start from assumptions, and doesn't treat its hypotheses as tenets.
It's all just experimental through quantitative/qualitative data, as well as empirical.
no I'm equating complexity of apparatus to individual effort of understanding the complexity.
Understanding a complex system has no bearing on the application of the complex system.
Understanding how the Linux kernel works would be no help in beet farming, that doesn't mean either endeavor is entirely worthless in context.
