With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk.

The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work-that is, correctly to describe phenomena from a reasonably wide area.

Truth is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations.

There is no point in being precise if you do not even know what you are talking about.
