Isn't the real question whether humans are good at generating constraints?



* maintainable contraints


Yes. But that still doesn't necessarily mean solving, provided you can actually constrain everything you care about, which I'd guess you probably can't...


It’s a rhetoric device (a hyperbole) which hints to maintainability issues. That’s how I understood it.


Yeah, I didn't mean my comment to be a devastating take down. I just find it frequently useful to try and state things more clearly and correctly when faced with hyperbole.
