Why don't we nuke Rita?

Yep, and the reason is that the models aren't entirely accurate, hence
the "educated guess".

If it's not an educated guess, then what is it?

What it is - it's a disconnect. You have this problem distinguishing between
research (such as modeling aerodynamics with computer simulations, then testing
in a wind tunnel or trying to simulate the progression of weather events that
result in hurricaines) and practice (like weather forecasting - which is highly
subject to interpretation by hacks like yourself). The research end of modeling
weather events IS progressing, whether you will admit it or not and as long as
it progresses, then it has value. But even as models evolve, there will be
weather forecasters that make human errors that will result in you having to
shovel 6" of partly cloudy off of your driveway. And even if our species
survives 1000 years and the models continue to improve, there will be errors and
there will always be whiney-assed bitches such as yourself that have nothing
better to do than whine and bitch about it.
