Funny I have pointed the same phenomenon on a french forum just yesterda= y. = Mostly the same in france. But I do not think this is a too much bad thing, as this is not a kind o= f = the worst and this may be useful where quick algorithmic modeling is = required. Yes, there may be better choices, but the purpose of = Biology/Physic/etc students, is not to pass a Computer Science degree. I just wish this is not use when proof-by-model is expected (as this is = = sometime done in Astronomy to explore theories). I hope then some more = checkable systems are used just to ensure the system did not created wro= ng = results.
