You only think you know so much because you don't know what you don't know.

For example, a "model" cannot be "true". A model is a model, reality is a different thing.

You don't know that. Models could be just as real as non-models, whatever those are.

You are right, but I'm not talking about this and you know it. I was saying that this gentleman, quotemstr, is confusing and mixing the model with the reality that it is trying to model.
