Giacomo, please be consistent. How do you know that, if you can not compare?
At the best, you are limited to checking agreement between quantum mechanical
calculations and experimental results. What about predictions where the
experiment can not be done? I thought that "Ipse dixit" was long dead. No, in
my opinion, that is a name of software that should not appear on this list. I
am considering to withdraw my name from the publication, if a find the way to
explain to the editor my reasons. I must avoid to damage my colleagues with a
withdrawl that may sound suspicious to the editor.
