Eliezer: Good answer. I take the same view, although I think the “can you model it” question suggests there is a difference. Do you think a rigorous, consistent (or not provably inconsistent) model of arithmetic or physics is possible where 2+2=3? (or the 3rd decimal place of pi is 2, or Fermat’s last theorem is false, or …)
