The Spherical Cow Artwork

What is all about the Spherical Cow? *** It is the mark of an instructed mind to rest satisfied with the degree of precision which the nature of the subject permits and not to seek an exactness where only an approximation of the truth is possible - Aristotle. *** Assume you dropped a twig across a river, and now would like to know it’s velocity. There are many things you might want to consider to solve this. How rigid is the twig? Did it rotate? Or did it oscillate? How is the atmosphere? What is the velocity of the moving waters? Huh, it looks like a complicated problem, doesn’t it? But would you not happy to come up with a number just to start off with! You would eventually ignore all these factors and deduce a value based on the distance the twig traveled. Though you would be absolutely wrong, you have simplified the problem and made it doable. We always don’t want perfect models, rather we look for models that work. The real world has infinite details which could decide the outcome, but a beginning is what’s most needed to get a hold of the stick. Even if it means to remove any details, we should be okay with the unavoidable evil of making the most legitimate approximation. Well, not all factors contribute appreciably to the problem, will they!
