Maybe the best thing about models is not the numbers they produce but the insight into how different variables affect each other, how steeply.
But this information is already contained in the model itself. Therefore people should be reading the models, not their results.
The models should of course be verified by comparing their results to empirical data. But that does not often exist with global things like pandemics and climtae change.
