Simulation accuracy
This shows an example of how little match there is between many simulations and reality. Having written a number of simulators for various parts of my academic research (a long time ago) I could tweak parameters until there was a good match between the simulator and previous observations under known conditions. However, take one step outside the boundary of those known conditions and I could guarantee the simulator would be useless.
Climate model simulations are the obvious exception to this. They have perfect predictive abilities for up to a century ahead.
