And they use poor and imprecise approximations that they can't debug, because they just plug in numbers and hope for answer.
- vkazanov 3y agoUnderstanding that something is fundamentally an approximation is important. Users of these packages are well aware of the fact. What point are you trying to make?

In practice most Matlab solutions you are describing are awful, in terms of performance and in terms of accuracy due to ignorance about underlying theory.
