I am not sure why to choose to defend a position where you define what is valid and not valid in a discipline in which you have no expertise. Trying to say that model experiments are not valid without defining the model used and the purpose of the experiment is useless. You are arguing some truly inane position for some unknown reason.
Do you realize that this subthread started with the following statement by outlaw?
"Since when do model simulation results constitute data sets? Model simulations are not scientific experiments."
What exactly is your point about refuting an obviously incorrect perception?

you said to me "And you are the judge of what constitutes a valid scientific experiment because of what?" I made no such claim. I simply stated what should be obvious to anybody trained in modeling and/or the scientific method. All models are not scientific experiments.
Finally, I am much a subject matter expert in this discussion as you are. I'm a professional engineer trained in modeling and the scientific method. I think you feel the weakness of your rebuttal and have resorted to personal attack.
How long ago did you declare your participation in this thread over?
Sorry to be blunt, but...well you get the gist.
