>>11797683>>It's kinda like an IQ test;lost me right there/sci is 'IQ' crazy, so I hoped it to be a relatable example.
When you try to solve a problem, usually you glance at it, see if familiar things jump out to you as an obvious solution.
Then, If Not obvious, you consider some stuff that you know to be alternate solutions (like a checklist of things)…
So the first application is like a tool set. a checklist. a 'Bag 'o Tricks
that's relative to solving a specific problem
there's more general application of knowing multiple models from multiple disciplines, and being able to apply them
of course, some people like them in a trivial sense; They are entertaining, and interesting.
