Sounds way more complex than we need to worry about.

"Buy gold. Lather, rinse, repeat."

I remember when fractals and chaos hit the oceanographic turbulence community a few years ago. It was thought that their understanding would provide big breakthroughs in understanding and prediction of atmospheres and oceans. Some big names got lots of funding to do all kinds of weird stuff.

Only one problem. Real world isn't fractal or chaotic most of the time. Self-similar scaling doesn't work in an anisotropic environment. It's different in all three directions at most meaningful scales.

Then, there's double diffusion (ocean) and condensation (atmosphere), LOL.
