Now I know where you get your debating prowess, Bert. (Just kidding).
Modelling is only a relatively recent 'invention' in Science, also. I'm not so sure it carried the same meaning before computers got underway, either.
Modelling also forms the heart of Science theory now. The days of deterministic formulas being the sole dominion of predictive capability are dwindling away.
Our models are getting as complex as the parts of the bodies we use to visualise them, also.
I have been asked .. 'where will it all end' ?
(I recall the question was spurred on by the notorious 'Dark Matter' topic .. itself an outcome of our model of the Cosmos).
Good topic for another thread.
Cheers
