More often than not, a definitive model cannot be built. Recognize this, focus on the question that is being asked and, if necessary, use the model for hypothesis testing.
Remember that model calibration is a form of data interpretation. The whole modelling process is simply advanced data processing.

Not only does uncertainty arise from parameter nonuniqueness; it also arises from lack of certainty in model inputs/outputs and model boundary conditions. The model can be used as an instrument for data interpretation, allowing various hypotheses concerning inputs/outputs and boundary conditions to be tested. Where did the idea ever come from that there should be one calibrated model?
