There is a fundamental paradox in statistical mechanics that we do exact computations on systems with very special symmetry properties and then apply the intuition gained to generic systems which do not have these symmetries. We will address this paradox by contrasting the most recent progress in integrable models such as 6 and 8 vertex, chiral Potts and hard hexagon models with very closely related non-integrable systems such as Ising in a magnetic field and hard squares.
