Introduction
Quantitative work produces numbers. That does not mean it produces certainty.
Precision in output can disguise imprecision in assumptions, data, and interpretation.
The Core Idea
False precision arises when exact-looking measurements are granted more reliability than the underlying problem deserves.
In financial markets, noise, instability, and adaptation make this a central research hazard.
Closing Note
The more exact a result appears, the more carefully it should be interrogated.
