I think in some other context it's actually preferred to be precisely wrong than roughly correct maybe this is the difference between a business (or engineering) mindset of "it must work effectively, how and why it works are secondary" in contrast with a perhaps more phillosophical (scientific? purely mathematical? reverse engineering?) study goal? in which case whether something works is secondary to having a full theory of what's going on
