Jesse Keenan, a lawyer who teaches climate change adaptation at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, thinks people are
making that exact calculation.
But it is probably a pretty good approximation, and once we make that approximation, we can
make exact calculations.
Not exact matches
My
calculations are
made using the
exact brands and products I used, so if you use different ones (for example a different brand of biscuits or regular alfredo sauce rather than light Classico) the points may vary.
The benefit is that I also know exactly how much lean weight I have, 130 lbs, which will
make calculations for my desired protein intake more accurate (although calculating my
exact macro intake is one of the things I most dislike about tracking).
Makes a huge difference — I can't give you
exact numbers since my
calculations don't match yours — but to the tune of around the effective tax rate (25 %) less!
The only differences in the GCM are a few bug fixes related to the
calculation of seasonal insolation (a problem discovered in Model II in the mid-1990's) and an adjustment to the grid configuration that
makes Model II's grid an
exact multiple of the more recent generations of GISS GCMs (like Model E).
Then if there is a change to the data, they can rerun the
exact calculations and see if this
makes any difference.
For your analogy to hold, you are arguing that a hypothetical Star Trek near - instantaneous scanning will take place on the complete assembled structure, of complete depth at a very fine resolution, from which your definitive
calculation can be
made with the complete and precise understanding of the
exact physical properties of such an assembly and everything in it... With the result being only good for when it was scanned.
Adept at
making mathematical
calculations and determining the
exact quantity of ingredients required per recipe.
