But it is not math - we only have empirical evidence and not even much from that.
Who is to tell whether the OSI model is ideal? It is more than likely not it, but we can’t measure these things up front, there is an insane cost associated with changing it, etc. Yet again, what is the alternative? We can’t manage complexity any other way, and essential complexity can’t be reduced.

The current idea of the OSI model was also retrofitted from what it originally was.
