I recall discussing how focusing too much on individual parts can lead to missing the bigger picture in complex adaptive systems.

I feel like it could be true, but I lean towards false since complex systems often behave unpredictably.

I'm not sure, but I remember a practice question that emphasized the importance of the whole system rather than just the individual components.
