We also have a little probe reaching the plasma double layer of our heliosphere that also doesn't fully follow the model.
Nature does not, will not, care about man's mathematical models. Never has.
As i raised before, by me, human mathematical models are handy, very handy, they help us average out, or provide quick "good enough" calculations to be used to better our experience.

Just trying to get where you're coming from. Let's not worry about the science, just yet .. another question ..
... Ultimately, does it upset you to see the models driving research funding?
(Ie: might that be your biggest issue ?)
