Neither would I. 
However, I am not addressing how models are used. I am addressing how models 
occur. The Stork doesn't bring them.
Cars are used to go to the grocery store and I would not call that designing a 
car. But the car was designed and the car design morphed through about seven 
stages until it got to manufacturing expressed as Bill of Materials and 
Routings.

ps; an ontology is a model of a piece of reality. Do we design ontologies?    (02)
