What is a safer assumption?
- My model is accurate, for reasons I can't understand, verify, or externally justify
- My model is not accurate
edit: to be more clear on my stance, if a modeling technique is too difficult to justify or explain, it is not a good technique and should not be used, even if the results seem appealing.
