I would be cautious saying “Modeling for the purpose of control is unethical and oppressive because property rights are violated” purely because I wouldn’t want people to get the idea that Austrian Economists consider economics as normative. Austrian Economics may point out that the economic calculation problem shows that central planning is impossible, but it’s libertarian political philosophy that talks about things being ‘ethical’ or ‘unethical’. I think it’s important to keep the distinction between economics and political philosophy very clear.
