We seek not truth; we seek usefullness, both empirical and conceptual.
Our method is the conception, testing and application of models of
reality. We cast these models in terms which we have ceased to question,
not because we understand them any better, but only because they have
become familiar and because they are all that we have.
I agree and all the more reason not to treat them as models beyond question
in our teaching because our students can and do take a different meaning
for them than expressed above if we _do_ present them as beyond question.
