Which of the following statements regarding the development of models by scientists is not true?
A) Adjusting the variables in a model simulates different conditions and allows predictions of possible system operations.
B) A model is a simplication designed to help us understand complex processes.
C) Most scientists believe that any system can eventually be modeled with 100 percent accuracy. Thus, models can be perfect representations of reality.
D) A model is only as good as the assumptions and accuracy of information upon which it is based.
