Yeah that's my recollection too. The areas where they are likely to exist overlap, and that's what a bond/interaction is. The trouble with this stuff is that every year you studied it they told you that what you learned last year was a complete simplification and not really representative of what really happens!

The real trouble is that every single year they tell you that, it's true!

It's models all the way down. We don't have access to some ultimate truth. Rather as you delve deeper the model is able to predict more accurately esoteric corners of reality, and/or more parsimoniously tie together the empirical facts we know.

"what really happens" is for dogmatists. If your model has no blind spots you probably haven't been imaginative enough.

Yeah. That's why it's true every year ๐Ÿ˜‰
