I think I agree with the idea you are saying. That people think you can formulate our body to ignore a lot of the state that it holds.

I'll note that even basic physics has that problem. Try explaining to a 5th grader why a feather would fly in the same arc that a rock will take, if there was no air.

Well, I did not want to say "Mathematics" because it sounded a bit exaggerated. Of course you are right.
