>>For a mathematician, all he has to do is to see that, in this situation, there is no solution. His job is done. Mathematics is about neatness and elegance.<< I find it funny that he believes there is some perfect way to predict society's behavior as a whole. I doubt it. We can make a lot of predictions about how masses of people will behave in given circumstances, but because individuals are so unpredictable, and because individuals can have great sway in society, there will always be that occasional random sociological event that throws everything off. People are funny apes.
