This paper is a brief discussion on the issue of modeling evolution. The question posed is where does modeling theory come from and where is it going. A parallel is drawn between the evolution of modeling theory and ancient philosophy. In the end both must come to the conclusion that a theory must be applicable to a human problem and must lead to a solution of that problem. Otherwise, it is useless. It is pointed out, that some methodological approaches are even detrimental to reaching a good solution. They only absorb costs and effort and lead to nowhere. Just as Aristotle rounded out the ancient philosophical discussion, the S-BPM method appears as the next logical step in the evolution of modeling methods. In the end, some research issues are discussed, for the S-BPM method as well as for modeling comparison in general.
