Exactly. Which is why I'm trying to go for pseudo-predictive power instead. If that's even a thing.

Occam's Razor is one way to look at it. In the cases I've described before, the idea of the system I used for getting the numbers being a 5-variable function is far too complex for far too little.

Yet again is what happens if making a hypothesis to explain one phenonema happens to explain others as well. Sort of like how string theory "predicted" gravity-It's emergent. Emergence tends to be a good thing.
