I think this fallacy runs deeper than so far discussed. I can build a discrete system with similar properties.

Layman's commentary here: Perhaps, in view of the ease with which one can slip into this fallacy (quantizing the continuum), a useful proceedure for analyzing any data would be to establish, early, whether what's being examined is a continuum (or perhaps a part thereof), or if it's actually discrete quanta. If that can't be determined right away, then that should be noted.
