Actually... I think causation may largely be a red herring as well. Our most successful models really do not incorporate it at all. They are in the form of F=ma or PV=nRT. There is no causality there.

Models are final solutions; causation is how you end up finding those final solutions: causation is understanding, it's vitally important.
