Unfortunately you are using "model" in a different sense to how Bruno (or logicians generally) uses it. The real world bridge is a model. Your models would be called theories, and the real world bridge either satisfies it or not. Confusing? You bet. But it is how things are, not something Bruno arbitrarily introduced.
