Nicely put. Since we are compartmentalized (not infinitely seeing) we make up shit beyond our veil to affirm our "understanding" of reality. One of the tell tale signs is mixing notions of "curve" and "straight", or even worse fusing concepts that are exclusive such as "space" and "time".
i see no problem with making up shit since that's the best we can do - we approximate and re-iterate. as of now GR and SR are the "best" approximations we have in the mainstream (I don't trust GR and SR personally).
The problem is big academia and institution-level idiots not willing to let go and embrace new ideas once we've gone beyond and re-iterated past GR and SR. So now we've been stuck and running circles trying to plug all the holes in these theories for the better part of 100 years almost.

The idea of modeling requires us to make an assumption, and then test it to determine fitment. Or, more commonly, Assume the antithesis of the model, and reject it (think null hypothesis). In a sense you can say it's like making up shit. It becomes an issue when shit is made up and there's no threshold of acceptance, i.e "stupid" shit.

The people in academia will accept and prostletize ANYTHING they are paid to. If it pays well, they'll embrace new ideas and contribute to them. The problem then is "who prints the money?"

Or even longer. While it is presented as the birth of modern science, I suspecting it goes back to "scientific revolution" itself. For me, it become maddening and I had to really consider "how do we know what we know?" ... not just a pondering on a Sunday walk, but for every single subject.
Now, I see that ALMOST everything is proven "fake" and most probaly "gay".
