Laughable nonsense, and especially glib when there are lives on the line due to the question of competence/lack of it. One thing I'm surprised not to have seen yet - as a MSc Geographic Information Science grad - is criticism of the methdology from a GI science aspect. And the question that I have is: where is the proof that this model's results are in any way representative of reality? Surely Professor Ferguson - before releasing results that have the potential to turn economies upside down, and with thousands of lives at stake - would have run this against some real world data to validate the model. Or not? If not, why should we listen to anything he says ever again?
