> nor is it particularly astute to create an entire discipline used to justify our entire social order on a theory that is known at the onset to be incorrect, This is precisely what makes your line of argument tiresome: you fail to understand the very basics of what models are and how they are used. What determines if a model is valid or not is its error margin for the intended use. Even if a model fails to draw accurate predictions, its ability to express cause-effect consequences is enough to demonstrate the model's usefulness. It makes absolutely no sense at all, and flies in the face of reason, to criticize a model because it might not be very accurate at representing a corner case. That's a very ignorant thing to claim. To paraphrase George Box: "All models are wrong but some are useful". It seems you failed to understand the latter.
