v2	v3
32	32	Even physics, chemistry and especially biology and linguistics have shorthands that are universally used in spite of being rife with exceptions and addenda: newtonian physics and thermodynamics were the building blocks of 19th century engineering, and yet they only apply well within particular limitations of scale - demonstrably they are not useless, but neither are they "right".

	36	That language is structured for communicative brevity rather than for precision is a hint that most thought works in the same manner, but it goes further than this.
	37
	38	There is a limit to the dynamic complexity of a system that a human can turn in their minds and correctly predict outcomes for in a fixed period of time. Given that humans are biological creatures operating in a complex and ever-changing world, generalizations are therefore crucial to survival, as a means to predict outcomes.

	40	This extends even into hard sciences and other academic disciplines: there is no point modeling molecular fluid dynamics at a boundary layer when you only need to boil a pot of water.
