  > I was afraid some math would support a counterintuitive method When you say 'math', what does that mean to you?

Assuming the math is correct and the simulation bug free, I'm most interested in assessing the norms (human values and priorities) implicit in the mathematical scoring function. Though mathematical logic is indeed deductive, using it to assess social systems is subjective.
