I don't find it unsettling but it's not particularly interesting. You can view epicycles as detour before Copernicus, I think that's more of the sense of what Wolfram is referring to as a detour.
wolfram's use of detour seemed like a dismissal of the utility of relativity, i read it as 'a waste of time'.. taking an indirect route when a direct route would have been preferred.. was something else meant by the word? people mock an earth centered universe today but was the idea a waste of time?
what's the alternative to detours? waiting, still, until one is shown the direct route? how will it reveal itself? what defines direct? are there direct and detour routes between wolfram's network nodes?
bones had a hard time appreciating the efforts of his predecessors(o), but does the potential of a future technology rendering a current technology obsolete, barbaric even, mean we should avoid it's utility because it's merely a 'detour'
i think the probabilistic nature of quantum bodies is an incorrect model but i wholly endorse its use in those scenarios in which results are found where they were previously elusive
i think monte carlo descision tree traversal is a misguided method but i wholly endorse its use in those scenarios in which results are found where they were previously elusive
utilise and iterate on best fit 'detours' while still seeking direct routes
my response to wolfram was asking: why call something a detour when everything is a detour, even his unfinished attempt at finalising all detours
i want to make it clear that i encourage wolfram to continue his work on his theory, but careful judging lest ye be judged
hey einstein, “Don’t waste your time working on that!” and, “Please don’t work on that.” it's merely a detour
