"As I understand it, all Newtonian physical theories are only methods to describe the outcome of a given phenomenon. So, by definition they cannot be regarded as 'correct' or 'incorrect'. There value lies purely in how well their results match observed/measured data. So, NASA cannot legitimately say that Bernoulli is wrong. All they can say is that other theories more closely correlate with the experimental data."
This reply most closely matches reality IMHO. Absolute 100% accuracy cannot be had by utilizing imaginary numbers in the calculations.
