And, in the end, the results still needed to be converted into a form that can be compared with experiments.

Model, hell let's take it to the lab and find out for real - Not when you're seeding black holes I say! :-)

A significant number of the scientists working on the bomb in New Mexico in 1945 were concerned that a runaway chain reaction could incinerate the entire earth ... but the bomb was detonated anyway.

At Cern there were voices which cautioned that no one knew what would happen if they created a nano-sized black hole in a collision. But they fired that thing up anyway and even repaired it and did it again after it over heated!

Which reminds me, with the first hydrogen bomb tests the 'brilliant' scientists got a 40% higher yield than expected, because they didn't think Lithium would add any to the reactions, IIRC.
