Not exactly. I am saying that while RM is currently the most
useful/practical data model, it is limited. TM is a more general data
model and therefore is not as efficient within RM's scope. While
computers are still in their infancy, evolution/nature has already
gravitated toward a data model more like TM than RM. Today's computers
currently lack the enormous parallel processing power of a brain to
implement a very generic data model. Currently, TM is for the tinkerer
and dilletante for problems outside RM's scope, just as the Wright
Brothers tinkered with flight at a point in time when trains and ships
were the practical experts in transportation. Please try not to
misconstrue this analogy also :)
