Uncommon Descent attacking the validity of computer models

Over at Uncom­mon Descent Gil­Dodgen cau­tions us against the unre­li­ab­il­ity of com­puter models.

That’s a pretty ironic pos­i­tion, given that Gil him­self is a soft­ware engin­eer, and sub­scribes to a move­ment com­pris­ing mainly pro­gram­mers, math­em­aticians and PR experts arguing about bio­lo­gical sys­tems, against the people involved in actu­ally study­ing them and gath­er­ing real data, based on noth­ing more than some arm-​​wavy per­sonal incredu­lity and a bunch of math­em­at­ical models.
