"Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative" --Oscar Wilde
Often an argument for continuing to do something the way it has been done, is to point to successes from it, or even positive results that are assumed would not be gotten otherwise. Fallacy. We don't live in a closed system; positive results are not necessarily the result of a good model, but rather a merciful God. He will bring order to our chaos, and accomplish His purposes anyway, but that does not mean our way is necessarily correct. I would almost think we have a creative mandate to continue to innovate and never settle for what we think is good enough. God is not falsifiable...
