| h/t Instapundit [PJ] - Perhaps the best thing that could come out of this entire debacle and turning America into a police state — where people are arrested for going somewhere in their cars and never leaving their cars — should be a total disdain for and disbelief in computer models. Computer modeling, IMO, is a bane of real mathematical modeling. |

| #7 A model is a simplification of reality. If one's sense of reality is distorted or screwed up, the model is going to be screwed-up--GIGO. |

| #4 The first of many problems with computer modeling is that there are so few good looking computers. The second is that way too many people don't realize how "dumb" computer models are. Most spread sheets are models even if just your personal finance spread sheet. "gee what happens to my retirement if I'm making 200,000 a year instead of 20,000?...... |

| #1 /\ Computer modeling, IMO, is a bane of real mathematical modeling. Add Computer-generated imagery (CGI) animation, and you have the potential for a real, eye catching shi*show. |
