>Saying it as though the math they come up with is what the universe will follow instead of the other way around
You're doubly mistaken. First, he's saying that when modeling a system, you must take care that the model doesn't exhibit traits which the system being modeled doesn't exhibit - not because this affects the modeled system in any way, but merely because it reduces the precision of the model. Second, it isn't "the other way around." The universe doesn't follow the model, but the model doesn't follow the universe, either, it's an approximation that approaches the universe as its precision approaches infinity.
