We have a huge environment we live in, plus we shape are environment to an extraordinary high degree. Furthermore, we're actually quite sensitive as organisms to those changes, including in ways where it's only now coming out in some cases because our previous equipment wasn't sensitive enough to register what was happening. We also actually know very little about genetics, genomics, and epigenetic despite posturing that we do. That's why the error bars are big

Fundamentally, actually shrinking that error bar for many diseases is one of the biggest hard science and math problems of the future.

It's going to be so exciting!
