There are several mainstream descriptions of black holes based on general relativity: the Schwarschild model, the Kerr model, the Reissner-Nordström model... Which one of them is the true black hole, according to you?
But I guess that example I gave might have been a bit obscure. So, here's another example of a model in physics that is clearly just a model:
quasiparticles.
