#3 is not about making observations but about making a map of every tree. This is a common mistake of people, wanting to have a complete set of data on anything. I myself had to remind myself as well when designing projects. But in reality you cannot make a map of every tree and even if you could, what’s it worth? You need abstractions to understand anything and models are just that.
