Discussion Q2

Chapter 5, Figure 5.1 is an illustration of the future state of practice of systems modeling and simulation.  With this mind, the adoption of recent, current and expected innovations could result in the future of the art of systems modeling.  From this illustration, we have learned that it would be possible to simultaneously use multiple hypotheses to achieve different goals that could include the search for deeper understanding and policy insights, experimentations in virtual laboratories, future oriented-explorations, robust policy design, and robustness testing under deep uncertainty.  From the assessment by the authors, what are the main advantages of using multiple models? Briefly explain.
