As the title said, computer models aren’t real-world facts; they’re guesses. They might be hyper-charged guesses, but they’re still guesses. Their value to science is to be a hypothesis at the start of the scientific method, rather than assumed to be a valid conclusion.
Do you want people computer-modeling whether governments should bomb each other? How about computer-modeling of YOU in real time via a wearable “health” device? There are always trade-offs to using tools, but if the government is involved in pushing for something, I’m less apt to agree with it.
