Case in point: shared mutualists or other consumers may help or hinder, i.e. cause facilitation or competition, even when limiting. The model demonstrates this principle even though competition seems the 'intuitive' outcome from verbal argument alone. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...
The classic role of models in physics is to derive predictions from an already-quantitative hypothesis. This is NOT what most models in biology do! In biology, models far more often prove a general principle that was not intuitive from a verbal hypothesis alone.
