Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: (and some trust in mathematical models)
but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Psalm 20:7
"Mathematical models are a great way to explore questions.
They are also a
dangerous way to assert answers.
Asking models for certainty or
consensus is more a sign of the 
difficulties in making controversial
decisions than it is a solution, and can invite ritualistic use of
quantification.
Models’ assumptions and limitations must be appraised
openly and honestly. Process and ethics matter as much as intellectual
prowess."
