Financial modelling. Random and Chaos Theory

The latest and greatest financial modeling techniques for options involve something the financial engineers call SABR modeling.

It involves force fitting the known or guessed market prices back into a volatility curve or "smile"

It is based on stochastics which actually means Random.
from the Greek "στόχος" for "aim" or "guess")

So our financial engineers are "guessing" ?
