Presumably, most computer modeling makes use of field data, or something similarly sound.Frank Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410473158808750903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10178279.post-4968053063905450562009-06-23T15:06:23.352-04:002009-06-23T15:06:23.352-04:00Without wishing to comment on this particular stud...Without wishing to comment on this particular study, computer (or any kind of) modelling is a valid branch of science, extremely common in many types of scientific endeavour. Like any scientific discipline or subdiscipline, it has rules determined by physical laws and constraints.
