To wrap up my comment--models are one thing, real life another. Models are useful tools, as are measurements and statistics. But one can have flawed models and misread numbers, so it's a good thing to remind scientists that Mark Twain had it right when he said...

"There are lies, there are damn lies, and there are statistics".
