The question is how long this will take - especially 1.

Modelling is a very good tool - if the model is right. 'Ay, there's the rub'.

At an international standards meeting, one American guy made a very profound
statement: ' Simulation is like masturbation - the more of it you do, the more
you prefer it to the real thing'. There is a lot of truth in the thought behind
that statement.
