All models are aproximations "wrong" in some sense but they are darn close, close enogh for all practical engineering if you adopt the rigth modell . I dont think "all models are wrong" is a usefull argument ofcourse they are , its not much beter than "we dont know verything" ofcourse we dont . The designer of your car are happy with newtonian mechanics and maxwells laws of electromagnetism . They are in some sense "wrong" as no adjustments for relativity and quantum mechanics or higgs bosons are applied ,but the errors are all somewhere in the noise far below the error margins . There are course rough models and more fine grained ones . Engineer knows which one to apply . You dont need to adjust oHms law for gravity for example... unless you plan to use your DAC very close to a neutron star (in which case the atom and molecule deforming magnetic fields would cause some trouble to ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
