That's true, but also completely intractable for analysis purposes.
Perhaps logical, verbal reasoning can handle this sort of analysis. Situations just don’t remain the same over multiple trials even with simplifications, do they?
reply
You can't possibly formulate a sentence, much less an argument, that describes everything that's changing and accounts for every possibility.
Mathematical notation is generally more parsimonious, not less. That's basically why it exists.

Yes, that is as it is. Mathematical notation is much more parsimonious than language but simplifies, sometimes, beyond the limits of the problem.
