And unfortunately, it gets done wrong. Not because the computer is wrong,
but the model is. Then the guy doing the job doesn't recognise the fact,
because he doesn't think it through, and check the answers by means of a
rough calculation.
A very profound statement was made an international standards meeting:
"Simulation is like masturbation: the more of it you do, the more you prefer
it to the real thing."
Regrettably, there's too much design done that way now.
