Running 80,000 complex simulations only to conclude "it could go either way" is the statistical equivalent of shrugging your shoulders while wearing a supercomputer as a backpack. Election forecasters build these elaborate Monte Carlo models with fancy algorithms, then deliver insights that your local fortune teller could've provided for $5. The irony is delicious—all that computational firepower just to admit they have absolutely no idea what's going to happen. Next time, maybe just flip a coin and save the electricity?
