Assuming the title is a play on the paper "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences"[1][2] by Eugene Wigner.

It’s also funny to me because every time I encounter “unreasonable effectiveness” in a headline I tend to strongly disagree with the author’s conclusion (including Wigner’s). It’s become one of those Betteridge-style laws for me.
