David Deutsch added,
Yet we believe that earth is Round, Big Bang occurred, climate change is only human induced, etc
There is support for the idea that it is possible to model earth as a roughly spherical shape in a somewhat Euclidean 3space, and no evidence to the contrary, so I am highly confident of that, until this model turns out be inconsistent or has possibly consistent alternatives.
All models are just useful approximations. Their validity is limited by their utility.
I can see your intentions, but that is clearly not true in all instances. For example, my model of how to win at TicTacToe is not an approximation, and it is pretty useless.
