Hi Craig

Feel free to be more specific, but I think all realized what I meant. But one
could also interpret your version as nouns, since noun is the category of the
words listed.
But you have a point. It's hard to express these sort of things without leaving
it open for interpretation.

Updating our model would rather be like updating our map of the moon after
taking photographs of the far side.
