The sim of all fears

Tom Clancy --> The Sum of All Fears --> me googling the quote and mistyping it "sim of fears" --> which got me thinking about AGW

Why, you may take the most unethical businessman, the most fraudulent scientist or the most audacious politician, put them at a table together- what do you get? The sim of all fears.

Yes... ManBearPig.

I have been working in computer simulations since the late 90s, when ManBearPig was first captured in a grainy video taken on Bluff Creek and easily dismissed as fraudulent based on already existing data.  We have a saying in the sim world: Never trust the sim.  If it works, you missed something.

Oh, and you can always make it do what you want if you fudge enough of the inputs.
