To understand what I mean this video provides the most basic example
Science is based on predictions and experiments. In order to make a prediction, we require a model. This can be a mental model, mathematical model, etc. Models allow us to make predictions.
As we gain knowledge, our mental models improve. As these models become more accurate we are able to make more accurate predictions. These predictions allow us to make wise decisions.
This videos below provides a good distinction between hypotheses, theories, and models:
The reason wisdom is asymmetric is because we do not all have accurate models. Some work with mental models which are inaccurate. The predictions made from these models would also be inaccurate. Some have models which are very accurate and the predictions made from these models are more often correct.
