A bit of caution with this line of thinking, because I was blindsided by it after more than decade of hand waving away "academics"

When you have the mind of "the models are wrong", you tend to be brought there by select counter examples, and in that space you only feed on counter examples. "The experts are wrong (and you can be right in 15 minutes if you consume this media!)" is abundant.

The actual reality is "the models work great until they don't". Not "the models don't work."

Ironically, the experts, the ones building the "wrong" models, tend to be the ones most aware of this.
