I said "(at least) more reliable" because I imagine that it would be
easier for someone trying to break the system (which, as already
noted, might only require certain relationships to be modeled) to
start with "it could be calculated, but it's too complicated" than
"it can't be calculated, tough luck".

But that's assuming the latter statement isn't simply very wrong.
Imagine how silly this would look if one day a whole branch of
technology is based on the prediction of quantum events. :)
