  So a model of say... The uniform Keplerian orbits of the planets should be
thrown out becuase we know there are perturbations caused by interplanetary
attractions?

  Keplerian mechanics is quite sufficient to send spacecraft through the
solar system thank you very much...

  Is it also your view that the model clockpiece on the wall beside me
should be thrown out because the minute hand does not move linearly over the
face and can be off by up to 1 minute? Or that it should be discarded
because it doesn't tell the correct time for objects that are moving
relative to itself? Or because it doesn't tell the correct time for India?

  Ultimately all modern science is statistical modeling and therfore subject
to variance from reality in specific measurement regimes.
