If the model is wrong but pointing out the shape of the real thing that governs everything, it’s still an interesting question as to why anything is being so perfectly governed.
Replace government with correlation. Correlation is data, government is a story. We observe correlations and then create stories and analogies with things we already know that fit those correlations. That’s how our mind works.
“Are fields real?” is not a bad question! It can’t be answered within the framing of scientific method, but it brings into focus the bigger question of what “being real” might mean.
