Scientific paper

It is argued that treatment of complex Earth systems by numerical models that are based on selected assumptions and a restricted class of data are consequently not adequately constrained. It is further asserted that the numerical model presented by Forte et al. is of that character and is open to serious question. It is argued that the numerical models that seek to explain the Laurentia gravity anomaly are biased by initial assumptions and omission of several types of evidence. Several omissions are detailed.
