There's something just not right with this model. I don't know what it is, but ... It niggles at the back of my brain. It doesn't work. It's missing these properties that I expect, but I don't know how to get them out of it, or bake them into it. And I should... it's just math.
I fuss and fight with it, and finally, I see what I'm missing. It should have been obvious all along. I no longer wonder about what is wrong with the model, but now have to go and fix it. I don't know how to do that yet, but I know where I can go find out.
Sometimes finding out what the problem doesn't immediately lead to a solution, but it's a good first start. Now to go find some more magic smoke.

P.S. Technology is just like normal stuff this way. The other day I headed out for an appointment, but the bike wouldn't start (and my eldest had the truck). It's cold out I thought... battery probably needs to be put on the trickle charger these days. So I was going to roll it down the driveway and start it that way, but it wouldn't roll easily. Thinking I was in gear, I turned the key on (there was enough juice to operate the controls, just not enough to start it), but was in neutral. I checked more closely, and sure enough the rear tire was flat. Must be a slow leak I thought, have to fix that, let's grab the compressor to put air in it. Picked up the compressor and the handle broke off the plastic hose. So I cancelled my appointment, fixed the compressor, started to put air in the tire, found that air was leaking out the valve stem. Tried to find a valve stem online, failed. Called the shop, they explained that the valve is attached to the tube (not a tubeless tire as I'd though), and so I arranged for them to come get it and replace the tube. I could do it myself, but I got other stuff people pay me to fix (like the problem above) so that I can pay others to fix my stuff.
