I saw a very well respected scientist on TV the other day, whose name I
unfortunately don't remember. Anyway, he was saying that NO model is valid
other than for a particular purpose. When I discussed this with my friend
Wendy, she said that's right, if you want to launch a rocket, astronomy is
valid, but if you want to get laid, astrology is a better model.
