A model is never neutral. A model is always also a way of disseminating an ideology, and it doesn't need to be lying for that to work.
Consider the question "what caused the French revolution?"
There's many ways to answer this while being technically correct. What gets prioritized, what gets omitted, that's where the ideology lives.
This seems trivially true though, it’s not possible at all for any human being ever to answer that question, without omitting something.
(Unless someone totally bonkers spends thousands of hours and thousands of pages answering a single question)
