> It is likely that many recommendations for the broader economy would have been ignored as well. For example, if a computer recommended that the price of heating oil should be doubled in the winter, how many politicians would let that happen?
The heating oil required to maintain temperatures in so many cubic feet of air space in the country, given some quantity of heaters at various levels of efficiency, themselves producable by the same giant calculation. The problem is the dimensions/variables are endless and subject to change based on the uncalculable whims of people. Stopping at any one point is arbitrary
