“All models are wrong; some are useful.” – George Box
Models are necessary. They help us ship work and translate our taste.
It is important to recognize, however, that by using a model, we are making something fit.
Any time you find yourself making things fit, you are missing a piece of the story.
It’s an abstraction. Mostly, your camera is zooming out, and thus a bit of the picture becomes blurry.
That piece still exists. You just stop seeing it.
Remember, the map is not the territory (a map is a model).
They can, however, help us to get where we need to go. After, though, switch it up.
