That last sentence is where models fit into the scientific method.
Here, try this...
"The important point that Becher introduced is that the explanation of a natural phenomenon (i.e., model, theory) must be
"TESTABLE" by
"EXPERIMENTATION".
In other words once a model is proposed as an explanation of a phenomenon, it can
"ONLY" be considered a
"SCIENTIFIC MODEL" if it can be objectively
"TESTED BY EXPERIMENTATION."

So essentially "You're" Equivocating Fallacy with the Term "model".
