NOte that most of the work this guy is talking about was done decades ago.

As in, 8 iterations of Moore's Law before the present day.

If there were problems in those models, you could show them today with just a few EC2 instances on Amazon Web Services. You would not need a supercomputer.

The inverse is also true.

"It is easy to get men to claim something, when their salary depends on them making the claim."

As supporting evidence: Statistics.
