v |
A
computer model is only as good as the
|
|
|
mathematics
and programming on which it is founded
|
|
v |
All computer models ignore features of the
physical
|
|
|
system
and all make simplifying assumptions
|
|
|
v |
A
computer model’s predictive ability is directly
|
|
|
related
to the features ignored and the assumptions
|
|
|
made
… so, do not automatically accept a computer
|
|
|
model
any more than you would automatically accept
|
|
|
a
legal contract … Check the
fine print!
