The methodology of their modelling, which is something I am qualified to speak of, certainly appears to be bogus.

The worst kind of analysis, assuming what you are setting out to prove, then adjusting the parameters over and over to produce the original result.

If their model was at all accurate and meaningful, the conclusion that should have been drawn is that collapse could *not* happen in the way that had been postulated. If that conclusion was not reached, it should have been concluded that the model had just been shown to be erroneous and it should have been ditched.
