There was an X-Files Episode about this…
Die Hand die verletzt.
About that ICL model:
https://lockdownsceptics.org/code-review-of-fergusons-model/
Ferguson's "model" is utter fucking trash. It's basically nothing more than a giant, extremely convoluted random number generator.
To save their face, ICL had turned to codecheck.org.uk, to get a certificate for their bullshit code. As a result, ICL brags about a "certificate of reproducible computation" that was supposedly awarded to them.
A brazen lie.
When you visit codecheck.org.uk, you will however discover that the certificate they do award is actually callled "certificate of executable computation".
What the fuck does that even mean? "We certify that your program is executable". In their own words:
"However, a CODECHECK does not evaluate scientific merit, nor the correctness of code!"
It's about time to end all this academic bullshitting for good.
