Falling back on emergent properties? Might as well invoke magic; it has the same explanatory capacity.

Never seen magic related scientific paper in my life, have you ?

Try to remember that serious study of strong emergence is pretty recent stuff ...

It is a tough nut to crack.

Nope, not just bit more then a buzz word
