Hmm...

Speaking as a mathematician, all models are equal, true.

But speaking as a scientist, that's not true!

Some models (Newtonian Mechanics) are good enough. Some models are a very good fit (Relativity). And some models are just plain irrelevant (toroidal geometry on a ball).

Pick the right model. The "more natural" one. Because the wrong one doesn't approximate to nature (reality).

Cheers,
Wol
