There still have to be some reference values in formulas, otherwise they
don't make sense, this was one of Tesla's biggest complaints, that there
was too much reliance on equations which did not reflect the real world.
He insisted that you should be able to prove the equation in a workable
experiment or it had no validity since it was more theory than fact.

That sounds like a great idea! So what happens if you go beyond that
limit? Does the microcontroller warn you? Shut down your power? Or do
they just charge you for the extra juice used?
