I want science to be held to a very high standard. Maybe even higher than "software engineering grade". Especially if it's being used as a justification for public policy.


Perhaps just a nitpick: software engineering runs the gamut from throwing together a GUI in a few hours, all the way up to avionics software where a bug could kill hundreds. There's no such thing as 'software engineering grade'.
