In my role as FRIAM's official Cassandra (I should get a T-shirt printed),
has anyone ever shown that these highly intensive simulations give
quantitatively better results than, say, something written on Owen's laptop
in NetLogo? Do we know that we get a better assessment of (for example) the
robustness of policies for stopping epidemic spread or do we rely on the
"more is better" argument? ("Of course, the results are better - we have an
NSF grant and 15 supercomputers").R
