Like I stated at the beginning, *most* models are at least theoretically valid. Of course, tractable engineering of said models is another issue. :-) Engineering tractability in the context of computer science and software engineering is almost purely an applied mathematics effort to the extent there is any "theory" to it, and science has a very limited capacity to inform it.
If someone could describe, specifically, how to science is going to inform this process given the existing body of theoretical work, I would have no problem with the notion. My objections were pragmatic.
