When the underlying physics is isn't yet known, testing which model fits best may give insight as to what the underlying processes may be, but randomly applying mathturbation until it gives an answer you like, then proudly proclaiming «It's cycles» or «it's a fifth order polynomial, and cooling is imminent» isn't even wrong.
