All models are imperfect, but most models are useful. It's counterproductive to criticize an imperfect model unless you have a better one at hand or you can demonstrate a critical flaw. "That's an overly simplistic view" is a low effort statement unless you have an alternative to present.

Not necessarily. We make big decisions based on our flawed models of the world, where the difference have real effects. Sometimes people forget the difference and need to be reminded.
