Опа, ще си позволя да коригирам, в интерес на науката. Понятието spherical cow in a vacuum е достатъчно навлязло в езика и науката, за да може така фриволно да си позволим замяната му с някакви си пилета.
Milk production at a dairy farm was low, so the farmer wrote to the local university, asking for help from academia. A multidisciplinary team of professors was assembled, headed by a theoretical physicist, and two weeks of intensive on-site investigation took place. The scholars then returned to the university, notebooks crammed with data, where the task of writing the report was left to the team leader. Shortly thereafter the physicist returned to the farm, saying to the farmer "I have the solution, but it only works in the case of spherical cows in a vacuum.
За да бъда максимално точен следва да отчетем вариране на биологичната единица спрямо езика.
Ассоциация букмекеров наняла биолога, математика и физика, чтобы они разработали метод прогнозирования результатов забегов. Дали каждому по миллиону баксов и году времени.
Год прошёл, заслушивают отчёты.
Биолог: я разработал методику, с помощью которой, зная родословные лошадей и взяв такие-то анализы, можно предсказать результат с вероятностью 90%.
Математик: я разработал методику, с помощью которой, зная статистику забегов за год, число зрителей на трибуне, суммы ставок и соотношение между мужчинами и женщинами среди сделавших ставки, можно предсказать результат с вероятностью 96%.
Физик: мне нужны ещё 10 миллионов баксов, лаборатория, штат ассистентов и пять лет времени. А пока я разработал модель сферического коня в вакууме.
