It often seems that people think that the answers to the important questions must align with the subject they know best. Statisticians think life is all about probabilities. Economists think it's game theory. Computer scientists think it's computational.

"Everything can be understood through mathematics" is usually said by a mathematician.

I've noticed this – I'm a former software engineer, now a full-time priest. It's been fascinating to reflect on how the base of my analogies has shifted from software/tech to theology/the Christian tradition. Not entirely though, there are many times when I've found resonances in between.

One extension I'd make from your comment is how rich interdisciplinary work can be, because all the resonances between different fields can come to life and some really wonderful creativity happens.
