Probabilistic statistics sacrifice perfection at the microscale for optimization at the macroscale.

Got that? Me neither—intuitively. This article helped.

It does make sense. It's not poetry. you cannot find everything from micro-knowledge. and you can't find everything from macro-knowledge either. Read: Being and Nothingness. or try the engineers explanation: you have a hole you can't see in but what you want should be in there because of the label on top. you can't make the label so good (and big) you can't find the hole or what's the point?
