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.
