	As computers have become increasingly powerful, more data has become available, and software developers have begun to give models more user-friendly front ends, and visually attractive outputs, modelling has become accessible to non-experts. Whilst this can be positive, in that it allows greater use of sophisticated analytical tools, it can also be very dangerous, as the inexperienced modeller is more likely to accept model outputs as 'facts' rather than simply a contributing part of a wider analytical process that should be regarded with healthy scepticism.
