[10:36:12] <exec> 08└─No, a downsizing in bureaucracy in US society. For example, one big warning sign is the huge increase in federal regulation that has happened over the past fifty years. Currently, it's being created faster than one can read the regulations. For example, last year over 95k pages [cei.org] were added...

It's not an approximation, the equations that accurately describe the system are 2D. Your argument is valid for pool for instance, where balls rotate in 3D even...
