In other words, the right criticism is to say that economic models constructed in particular ways need to be used and understood in similarly particular ways. A model that does not include household balance sheets and what drives them will not tell you if you will have a household debt crisis.
By the same token, a model that says that future wage inflation will be a perfect function of expected future inflation will always be at odds with reality. Criticising economists for thinking that their models replace what actually happens in the real world may be satisfying, but it is also off-key.
