How can it be that so many people accept this kind of oversimplified thinking as valuable?
Most processes in humans are pretty complex. The processes in between humans at times even more so.
It does not make sense to model these processes with pre-elementary school mathematics. Sure, people will understand the models, but that still leaves them totally incompetent.
In that respect I much prefer religious models rather than pseudoscientific ones. At least there complexity is hoovered up under the concept of "mystery", and we try not to understand that.
