 Accounts of causal explanation have also led to various claims about how idealized models can provide explanations, exploring to what extent idealization allows for the misrepresentation of irrelevant causal factors by the explanatory model (Elgin and Sober 2002; Strevens 2004, 2008; Potochnik 2007; Weisberg 2007, 2013). However, having the causally relevant features in common with real systems continues to play the essential role in showing how idealized models can be explanatory.
