Solving cancer also has an unusual level of specification. Many real world problems have that characteristic.

Maybe a specific cancer but in general “solving cancer” is about as scattershot and unspecific as you could be.
This is so untrue its actually insane to me that anyone could believe this.
The real world is so messy, and specifically cancer/biology is insanely messy and certainly not well specified.
You should close chatgpt and read a book sometime.

Where did you read that?
"Cancer" is not just a single disease, even though we layman use the term that way. Cancer is a family of diseases, each probably having their own specific solution, but even in each of these individual diseases, there is no specification at the level of any open maths problem.
