Exactly.

A computer science axiom which has never failed, "garbage in, garbage 
out". People just assume mathematical simulations are correct.

Werner Heisenberg, the father of Quantum Physics and the uncertainty 
principle named after him, got the math wrong on Germany's atomic bomb. 
Good thing too as up to that point the Germans were ahead of us.

In the non-scientific world the webpage Snopes.com is put forth as the 
final authority as to a story's veracity. One question...Who checks 
Snopes and what is their financial/political axe to grind?
