When the finished product works exactly as modeled, it is ALWAYS a 
combination of:

a) The model's ability to represent reality.
b) Consistent, predictable behavior of the construction medium.
c) The designer's ability to know when his/her design satisfies (a) and (b), 
so he/she can stop tweaking the model and get it built.

This applies to antennas, hypersonic aircraft, or the latest 
multi-band/multi-mode SDR transceiver chip for your smartphone. As Dave 
notes, many things are accurately built based on modeling. But as Guy says, 
there are also many cases where (a) or (b) is insufficient.
