The same as the difference between a thing and a statistical model of a thing.

They don't always match up.

Human reasoning also does not match up with reality. Isn't it statistical modeling all the way down?

  • That statement demands an explanation.

    As far as I'm aware, when reasoning does not meet reality, it is called a delusion, and I'm fairly certain that majority of humans are not delusional.

    • I wish that were true, but in an election year, I'm constantly reminded that it isn't.
