The problem is that sometimes you can see a process is actually continuous only ex post. I think I saw this argument in Yudkowski’s writing that sometimes you just don’t know what variable to observe, so then a discontinuous event surprises you and only after that you realize you should have been observing X, which would make it seem continuous.
