So true, so true I can always tell who is a new user of simulation
software, they expect to get 9 (ppb, parts per billion) or 12 (ppt, parts per trillion) digits of precision out of our software. I will go through my explanation of how simulation software is based on experimental data of 2 or 3 digits of precision and watch their faces change when they start to understand.
You get them to understand?
Could you try with policy makers?
Yes, yes, I know you're going to laugh again. This time with ample justification!
