I don't much disagree that computer models, or any models, can be flawed. They are subject to any errors in design or input.

On the other hand they can be wonderful tools when accurately representing a situation. If you ever get to San Francisco do drop in on the Army Corp of Engineer's model of the water flow in SF Bay and tributaries. Last time I was there it was housed in a warehouse in Sausalito---a 25 minute ferry boat ride across the bay.

We probably ought be talking about why particular models are either accurate/inaccurrate with respect climate change. (Me finding he Hansen links would help in this regard.)
