This bullshit independence is one of the most fundamental and important concepts of probability theory and that other nonsense is also relevant cause especially with statistics it's easy to concoct a model which only seems to be correct ... but in fact isn't.

Exactly my point, hence why at least from the learning side it works well towards making something that is actually correct. What I was aiming at is that too often people teaching this stuff get lost in the weeds without any clear motivation for what is actually being taught.
