Not so fast. Is this the woman that the U.S. would not allow in to tell us how we failed to anticipate some special problems with cryptography a year or two ago? (One of La Migra's better moments.) On Jan 20, 2007, at 6:04 PM, Tim Densmore wrote: Is that the sound of black helicopters with

Your thought that better modeling to see whether proposed solutions would have the intended effect makes a lot of sense in a world with such complicated feedbacks that that frequently is not the case. My concern is that modeling still represents incremental improvement in a design built on faulty
