> Or is it multivariate and all the parameters matter and affect and interact with each other?
I've been saying this a lot lately (in different forms):
Reality is not a single variable problem; it's a multivariate puzzle which is never as simple as a single cause -> effect scenario.
This applies to absolutely everything these days, from growing plants to politics. In many ways this is the failure of the internet/social media. Everything tends towards simple single variable explanations that are never, ever, in alignment with reality. And yet, entire populations become divided along these simple lines. Even when talking about how to grow a lawn.
