The real imperial story is that there were two wrong parties: - The scientists who were not including enough detail in their math. - The drive-by developers who had no idea what did or didn't make scientific simulations work.

Together they produced both an inaccurate estimate, and a github page full of uninformed speculation about what the problem might have been. ;)

Honestly I think the main problem was they choose overly pessimistic estimates, or maybe that their model is so expensive they could only investigate a few choices of the parameters.
