 As a human being, and as an anthropologist, I can make predictions and
 create predictive models based on a largely non-conscious understanding
 of culture.  Such predictions are not based on mathematics (a
 mathematics of culture is pragmatically impossible at the moment).
 Predictive models do not a science make.
