Fair enough: big simulation answers some questions, small simulation answers
others. So what are the specific questions that a big epidemiological
simulation can answer? It can't be anything too predictive ("ohmigod, New
York has just fallen to small pox. Which city is next?") because that
depends (I'd guess) on something that is unsimulatable ("errr.... dunno.
Kinda depends which flight the guy with small pox got onto"). What are the
questions that can only be answered with a big model?R
