Debatable I would argue. It's definitely not 'just a statistical model's and I would argue that the compression into this space fixes potential issues differently than just statistics.

But I'm not a mathematics expert if this is the real official definition I'm fine with it. But are you though?

I am, and yes, that's what a statistical model is.
