Dennis --
You said it well!!!
I might add that a good approach is to develop
capabilities to create models and impose restrictions
to answer the RESEARCH QUESTIONS OF INTEREST TO THE RESEARCHER.
It is difficult to teach students to create models if the
teachers have not developed their own capability to create models
appropriate to the research questions of interest.
