You think that mathematical modeling using the growth of computing is "for suckers"? Interesting idea.

It is not mine: GIGO.

GIGO, they have now taken the most basic common sense idea and turned it into a computer term.

Good grief.

Regardless of math models, or any formula, or anything period, if you enter bad data, you'll get bad results.

Knocking mathematical models used for economic analysis by saying GIGO is akin to saying screwdrivers are for suckers, as a screwdriver is only as usefull as the guy using it.
