Models

Chapter 6 of my Ph.D. dissertation was titled "Data Collaboration Method for Validation", and the chapter began with these two quotes:

Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful.

- George Box

The falseness of a judgement is for us not necessarily an objection to a judgement.

- Friedrich Nietzsche, from Beyond Good and Evil
