Whatever you say friend, enjoy your flawless yet incorrect predictions then, whatever that means

It means it doesn't predict correctly in quantum physics but still predicts correctly in 90% of other cases such as motions and thermodynamics in daily scales. Why do you think schools still teach those if it's not useful?

It’s taught because it’s a convenient way to teach children the scientific method, and has some practical benefit in low stakes problem solving. Those who progress beyond the basics realize there is more to physics than predicting the final destination of a billiards ball in a perfectly frictionless vacuum.

Although if you want to believe everything you learned in high school is the Truth with a capital T then you do you. Explains a lot actually
