In short: most of the objections people have to formal verification also apply to modeling something in software to begin with.

No, I wasn't suggesting you were disagreeing, I was simply responding to your hypothetical disagreement that some might argue. My counter-argument could be just as applicable to any of the people who have professed similar beliefs to the ones you speculated that some may hold.
