Galit modeling is a powerful tool for developing and testingtheories by way of causal explanation, prediction, and description. In manydisciplines there is near-exclusive use of statistical modeling for causal ex-planation and the assumption that models with high explanatory power areinherently of high predictive power. Conflation between explanation and pre-diction is common, yet the distinction must be understood for progressingscientific knowledge.
