摘要：

Julian Reiss correctly identified a trilemma about economic models: we cannot maintain that they are false, but nevertheless explain and that only true accounts explain. In this reply we give reasons to reject the second premise - that economic models explain. Intuitions to the contrary should be distrusted.
