All models are wrong. The map is not the territory. We are arguing semantics now. The point you're trying to argue is that a model is "right" in the sense that it models whatever we wanted it to model. We argue that a model is "right" if it captures the "true" nature, which it will never be able to do (because of its virtue of being a model) and hence all models are wrong.
Semantics. Unless you disagree of course.
