Thanks for this explanation to Marcin.
Do you think it would be expedient for me to include a small treatise on
the predictability of weather and climate into my talk at the GCC Summit
(assuming it will be accepted by the review committee) ?
Note that said treatise will not include any discussion of the accuracy
of floating point computations, as that subject is irrelevant in this
context.
Perhaps it might be acceptable if there is no mention whatever
of evolution :-) :-) In fact even floating-point evaluation is
sounding a bit too close for comfort.
