A more detailed model remains conditional on its data, assumptions and tested operating range.
A simpler model may be sufficient for a bounded explanatory question; reject neither complexity nor simplicity on principle.
Rate-based and CFD methods can resolve mechanisms omitted by simpler models, but they do not automatically establish empirical accuracy or global optimality.
