    It’s just like the atomic model - in High School you learn Bohr’s model (central nucleus with electrons in circular orbits) which is wrong, but is helpful. Then, in college/uni you learn the quantum model. Different levels of abstraction for different use-cases.

      Abstraction is a beautiful thing.

      And still today we know our current models of physics are incomplete, but mostly accurate.

      It’s a terrible system, it’s why we have so many people with high school educations talking about Trans people.
