“All Models are Right, Most are Useless”

A counter to George Box saying: “all models are wrong, some are useful.” by Thad Tarpey. Pointer to slides for the presentation.

Covers the fallacy of “reification” (in the modeling sense) among other amusements.

Useful to remember that maps are approximations as well.
