This conflict comes up everywhere:

Newtonian physics/mechanics: good enough in a lot of cases.

Einstein accurate, but unnecessary in most cases.

In many cases CAP is good enough for us to have the conversation about how the system works. One can then formulate plan for when it doesn't. The fact that it's imperfect at a formal level is academically interesting, but technically irrelevant for a LOT of conversations where it has utility.
