It probably needs a whole section on computer models. Totally garbage tools that take in garbage data and spit out whatever conclusion the model maker programed into it.
Example? I'm not sure I follow what you mean by computer models
Climate models, epidemiological models, power much any model of a complex system over a significant time frame.
Particularly where the complexities of the systems require more detailed analysis than is possible or practical. Resulting in non- physical modelling (i.e. "tuned" parameters and made up factors used in place of the actual phenomena, such as thunderstorms in climate models).
Oh ok I see what you mean now. I agree modeling is a good tool to have some projective ideas checked but should not be touted as gospel or infallible.
