As a simulation depends on its base data and the mathematical expressions selected to model it, there is certainly the danger that data and expressions are used selectively, whether consciously or unconsciously, to produce a desired outcome. One would hope the scientific community would monitor this but how many people would have a nuts and bolts understanding of the particular simulation in question?
