Perhaps you've never studied chaos theory? Complex systems are notoriously hard to model despite the underlying process being deterministic.

Why do you think we keep having recessions? We know where every dollar is at every point in time, the equivalence would be your atoms in liquid flow.

It's also interesting you point to liquid flow, that is a counter-example of what you're trying to say, as the navier stokes fluid dynamics equations that we use to model liquid flows are chaotic..

I have not studied Chaos Theory, but I think you might be misunderstanding something in my post.

I'm unhappy with people rejecting the accuracy of the models, when the models are going to be inaccurate regardless of the knowledge of the starting conditions. A model is not a simulation. Modelling the Earth is not the same as simulating the Earth.
