Having a complex model that describes a complex system is not unusable though. There is a reason we want to accurately simulate the Navier-Stokes equations with complex boundary conditions.
To quote the original article: "As a model of a complex system becomes more complete, it becomes less understandable. Alternatively, as a model grows more realistic, it also becomes just as difficult to understand as the real-world processes it represents"
If your model is simple enough to represent the original system accurately, then the original system is not complex.

My model can be complex enough to represent the original system and still be useful. I can iterate on design and make measurements without building the real thing.
