I don't follow you on that logic.
You're going from "all models are wrong some are useful" to "right or wrong, they're all useless". Quite a jump!
I don't get the "recreate", models don't do anything. Models can give directions, explanations, then it's up to us to interpret and use what they tell, trust them or not.
Land maps for instance are never 100% accurate, but we use them all the time because they're accurate enough for our purpose.
