[1]RL Reed That's part of your belief system and it's a popular
  belief and that's fine.

  The flaw, [2]James L Wolfenstein is that mathematics is an
  ANALOGY to real world systems, but it _isn't_ the real world
  systems.

  Here, take a perspective from a physics professor WARNING
  physics professors about the dangers of excessive analogizing,
  INCLUDING the fact that mathematics is an ANALOGY, with flaws
  that do not reflect reality itself.

  If a student does not learn that mathematics is an analogy while
  working on physics, they will practice their craft believing
  that mathematics *is* reality. VERY dangerous way of thinking
  and leads us into "la la" land.
