Made to Stick (Chip Heath)

Rather than electrons orbiting nuclei, it's more accurately described as a probability cloud. But we teach sixth graders the orbit model because it nudges them closer to the truth rather than clouds which are impossible to understand. The choice is between accuracy and accessibility, but if a message can't be used to make predictions or decisions, no matter how accurate or comprehensive it is, it is without value. An accurate but useless idea is still useless.
