Hi Tom,

Exactly, but you were responding to a dry comment on the nature of
"reality vs. models" which was absurd from the get-go.

To say that reality drives models or vice-versa (especially from
armchair theorists) is naive in the extreme. Anyone's "knowledge" of
reality is simply its own corrupt model and not any particular state
of enlightenment. The naive part is in not knowing the errors
bounding this "knowledge."

Barring revolution, anarchy, social upset or the rest, futurity will
tend generally to more resolution in the answer and a finer reduction
of error, but it will never be fully resolved because the answer could
not be encompassed by the mind.
