I think that's a great analogy. The theorists in each case have really good data to support their claims. However, each theory also have extraneous cases that debunk the original idea.

It can come down to a few things that apply to either case:

1) We just don't know enough about what's going in the system. For cancer, it's the human system and the biological intricacies. For Dragonvale, their code, the network, client/server side glitches. It could very well be that BFS has a really complicated algorithm to determine when a Sun/Moon gets created. We can only speculate and do as many tests with a large enough sample size.

2) Bad input data. How do we know that the "pack a day" smoker actually smoked a pack a day? It's just an estimation. Just like we don't know the configuration of Anon's iDevice. Is it jailbroken? Settings could be weird. etc..

All in all, I really want an Emerald Dragon..
