...qualitative as to reveal nothing we don't already know; that alternative mathematical models already exist; and that its proponents have based their claims of its wide applicability on a few phenomena well-suited to the model. Finally, two of the harshest critics have charged that in substituting pure theory for "the hard work of learning the facts about the world," idealistic mathematicians have used the theory "deduce the world by thought alone...
