You can compose a life model

The Dragons can seem antiscientific. They aren't. Let's say that the Software Engineering may have two directions of research. The first is science and describes how the world is. The second is ``science'' and describes how the world should be without consideration of the reality.

Each science operates with models. These models are logical constructions based on axioms. A model should mirror the real world. Unfortunately it can produce a wrong image. At first the construction of the model my be not correct. Much more terrible is the fact that axioms may not match the real world. A model can be proved logical or mathematical. An axiom cannot. Only one possibility to proof axioms is to predict something and then to measure the results of an experiment. If experimental results don't conform to predictions, the axioms are probably wrong. Of course there exist experimental errors too.

The human is a very complex object to measure. A group of humans is much more complex.12 Even you measure ten parameters there exist 100 others that you don't consider. Maybe there exist 1000 additional you don't know about.

Much worse for measurement is the fact that humans have his own will. They aren't computers. If you measure them, they know that they are measured. They have their own targets and change results of your experiments according with them. Consequently you can always get results predicted by a theory, even the theory is completely wrong. You get what you will, not the true.13

Using Dragons you apply your intuition. This tool is created by millions years of human evolution. It is tuned for deal in complex situations. You observe facts from real world and synthesise an intuitive model for practical purposes. It may be not-scientific, but gives better results as the model based on a ``good theory''. You create an other point of view. You have no artificial laws you should to follow. If your model don't conform to the reality, you have no ``scientific-based'' obstacle to change it. Even in case the Dragon-based model is wrong, you may find the way to overcome your problems. You have no ``scientific'' limits and can use your creativity.
