xkcd: Tukey
https://www.xkcd.com/3104/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.
