General observation is that neither the mathematical models nor the data is perfect.
For example, oceanic thermocline data, from what I understand, is not really collected.
We have an imperfect model being fed incomplete data? Why be surprised at debate over it?
People laugh today at ether and phlogiston debates, but such acrimonious debate pushed forward science to the point where we had exactly the right answer.
