I'd like to know what a correct representation 
of the data is. In one sense, only the data 
preserve the data. 

Nevertheless here is one suggestion: 

if the predictions from a linear probability 
model go outside [0,1] within the observed
range of the data, think again. 

However, as this is the standard objection 
to said model rehearsed in every text, 
I suspect you seek a much deeper answer.
