   The trouble with those people is that they think mathematics   
   *determines* the world. They seem incapable of understanding that   
   mathematics is only of any use when it *describes* the world.   
      
   If you're talking SCIENCE, then the big fly in the ointment with using   
   maths to describe the world is h, the planck constant. As I see it, the   
   relational database people simply ASSUME that there is no equivalent to   
   h as far as data is concerned. Experience says that an equivalent   
   probably does exist.
