The eternal battle between theory and reality in physics! On the left, we have a beautiful wave function (probably from quantum mechanics) with its elegant mathematical perfection. On the right, those five little dots connected in a circle represent actual experimental data points that refuse to form a nice continuous curve. Twenty years into your research career and you're still trying to convince yourself that those scattered data points "support the model." Good luck with your grant renewal!
