It would surely depended on how numerically (un)stable the calculations were.

Some of the stuff we did in fixed income derivatives was rock solid robust, and some would go off the rails at the slightest provocation, so I don't think that your thesis is valid as it stands.

I'm not sure I follow. Both responses to my post seem suggest that "following conservation laws is not an important issue for climate models".

Ok, I am open to that but I don't really follow the argument that the stability of the simulation can be used to tell us that violation of conservation laws will not lead to inaccurate results.
