George E.P. Box for anyone wondering. So true. “All models are wrong, but some are useful”. True of any abstraction unless you’re doing everything at the quantum level, but even then … are you sure you’ve captured all the details? But then … does it matter? As long as your model is sufficient to do the thing you need to do, it’s useful enough. Don’t make it any more complicated.
