The issue is not about "the perfect model" it's about "the most practical and useful model." The model that is self-correcting over time and can be used to "do things" (rational) vs. the static model that produces few results (magic.)
When I express a preference for rationality over magic, I'm not saying rationality is perfect or can answer every question. Just that it's more USEFUL than magical explanations.
Call me Mr. Rational-Practical.
