We need verification, validation and uncertainty quantification for any result provided to decision makers.</text></comment>

I have read postmortems of some &amp;quot;significant discoveries&amp;quot; which have turned out to only be reproducible on a particular build or software on a single analyst&amp;#x27;s machine. Or not at all. One &amp;quot;result&amp;quot; turned out to hinge on the iteration order of python dictionaries.&lt;p&gt;And this definitely didn&amp;#x27;t happen after those working on tools to help said analysts make reproducible results encouraged the analysts to use said tools... No, that would be crazy.</text></comment>
