I would even go as far as to say that models are neither right nor wrong, they just are what they are. Like a flower is not right or wrong for blooming a certain way, it just does what it does and does not care about your right and wrong. This is simply because there is no morality outside of human society and therefore no way to establish right or wrong.

In fact, it is us who are right or wrong when we are using a model. We can use it in meaningful ways or nonsensical ways, it's our choice. That's why it's us who are right or wrong.
