		<description>Hi Rafe,

Nice post and good point, there might be limits to human understanding. There is probably a threshold of complexity beyond which a single mind will be unable to understand a physical/biological phenomena but I hope we will not yield to the temptation to produce ununderstandable models when a better one is possible. Finding correlations with models that we cannot understand can, undoubtedly, be useful, but it is in the best case, only a lesser kind of science.</description>
