You're trying to apply software development techniques to a discipline where testing is usually done in a much different way. Yes, we should all try to be perfect and write the most magnificent code with the most bulletproof testing methods, but reality is different. How about you write tests that clearly prove that the results from this simulation are absolutely wrong? The code is right there! And you're a "software engineer"! Then start talking about retracting papers.

> a discipline where testing is usually done in a much different way This reminds me of the horror mainstream code monkeys express when they see the source code for automotive firmware. Thing is automotive people functional test the shit out of everything. And they don't let jr developers refactor proven good code because they don't like the way it looks.
