Queuing theory is a branch of mathematics. It is useful, in a software context, for things like predicting server capacity and predicting response times of programs. It is also regularly used to predict things like hospital wait times.
Here is a very good introduction, I hope you can learn something new from it (:

there's no actual use of queuing theory in the article though, it's just mentioned as some sort of irrelevant justification. it's not even a monte carlo simulation, it's a bootstrap. you definitely don't need queuing theory to run a bootstrap
Sometimes I think humans developed language only to be able to pretend doing something:
Best hunter of the tribe kills a mammoth. But he is not verbally talented. Now an army of bureaucrats appear and tell everyone that they were instrumental in slaying the prey by applying some BS methodology. The tribe is gaslighted, the bureaucrats gain importance, influence and economic wealth.
