The Use and Abuse of Models.

All models, such as road maps and mathematical equations, have their shortcomings, so their efficacy should be examined regularly to ensure they are used wisely to improve understanding of the universe.

      ab: All models, such as road maps and mathematical equations, have their shortcomings, so their efficacy should be examined regularly to ensure they are used wisely to improve understanding of the universe. One of the best methods to maximize their communication efficacy is to concentrate on their “outputs.” For most models, focusing on outputs facilitates the development of an even more effective model. The writer outlines traits that most models share.
