There are people who consider software written, I mean painted, or as they say modelled, in the language of e.g. Simulink to be of higher value than other representations of code.
The reason for this is probably different use of the same terms. Some code might be tested within an implementation of a model of the real environment. That is a frequent use-case used to sell graphical languages. The term model is used for two different things: The model of the real world to allow testing and for the implementation of the solution in a graphical language. Of course developers in those environments are Klingons like we all are, no real effort for tests, and only the graphical solution remains. But it is perceived as if it had all the positive attributes of a solution tested in a simulated reality. And therefore something modelled is better, because it is modelled.
