Yeah, they're great at interpolation - they'll just never be worth much at extrapolation.

Luckily for us, whole fortunes can be made by filling in the blanks between what we know and what we realize.

People keep saying this, but the only ways I know of for formalizing this statement, appear to be probably false?

I don’t know what this claim is supposed to mean.

If it isn’t supposed to have a precise technical meaning, why is it using the word “interpolate”?
