Inconsistency

You might have mixed feelings when it is finally demonstrated to you in a few lines of math that the computer code you and your colleagues have trusted and applied for long years has a principle fault in the underlying theory.

It is the nightmare of inconsistency: the implemented numerical scheme delivers results for another equation than it is supposed to approximate — while being perversely stable.

Sad moods in rainy Trentino.
