 Galilean idealizations are sometimes characterized as controlled idealizations, i.e., as ones that allow for de-idealization by successive removal of the distorting assumptions (McMullin 1985; Weisberg 2007). Thus construed, Galilean idealizations don’t cover all distortive idealizations. Batterman (2002, 2011) and Rice (2015, 2019) discuss distortive idealizations that are ineliminable in that they cannot be removed from the model without dismantling the model altogether.
