I would say that any prediction that can be derived from a model and
confirmed is a validation of the model and the model remains valid until
replaced by a better one. The sun was orbiting the earth until evidence
became too contradictorily for this model. Until then it was a good model
- better than no model at all, be it wrong or not.
