curve fitting is no science, no matter how deep the net goes, it's great for calculus, and obtain numerical models of what we already can measure, but all the correlation would require an human to verify and a theory to be synthesize post fact, especially if there's a margin of error or confidence, as generating infinite correlation would only result in finding models that are not there

this shows the effect of infinite dissecting data searching without a theory pretty well https://xkcd.com/882/
