But there is nothing unique in the human ability to do that, computers do
that sort of thing all the time. Often there are two values that affect the
rate of a process, one increases the rate and the other decreases it, the
relationship between the two can be quite complex so it's not at all
obvious which will predominate and what the ultima fate of the process will
be, but a computer can calculate it.
