Edgar,
Our success as a species does not depend on models. It depends instead on real
life.
Much of it is genuine engagement with Nature, in Nature, and luck and
spontaneity, and takes no time to "figure out".
The figure-outers are in the dust, and tend not to pass on their genes.
They'll argue that their way is the superior one, however. Of course they'll
argue! There's little left for them.
