We make it work heuristically?

I wouldn't apply the word that way, feels not quite right to me...but I suppose it technically fits some aspects of it, at least in initial choice, when we're, say, first trying to explore a 4D space---we know some 3D things will transfer/continue, some won't, we guestimate/extrapolate/intuit to get started.
And when "close enough" is really "close enough." Technically, the shape of the Earth has some effect on how we should build tall buildings...but we use just ordinary planar maths to do it...cuz the results are "close enough,"---the effects of difference negligible.
But the closer one builds to a black hole, the more that curved space starts to matter...pretty quickly planar math won't work at all.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Wow brilliant input and discussion from everyone 
As for me, it adds to my appreciation of the representational pictography. I mistakenly believed the pic itself was a photograph
cos meh .. didnt know any better.
Very clever peeps
