A Question Concerning WX Forecasting Models

[StarmanHDB]

A quick question on models....

Obviously, the various wx forecasting models are the result of many years of painstaking research based on many years of mounds of collected data regarding (in this case) the life cycles of countless tropical systems. While I know that science definitely plays the key role in the story behind wx models, what impact do the scientists themselves play in wx modeling? The old adage of "garbage in, garbage out" comes to mind. No, I'm not stating that wx modeling is garbage; on the contrary, I'm 100 percent certain that severe storm models have helped save countless lives. What I am saying is that although science is supposed to be exact (well, I'm not so sure about atmospheric sciences--way too many variables involved) and unbiased, meteorologists, physicists, and atmospheric scientists are imperfect humans whose lives are filled with biases, agendas, investors, and bosses. All this said, which of the tropical wx forecasting models are the considered the most conservative, the most liberal, appear traditionally moderate, and are recognized as the most accurate in both long-range and short-range forecasting AND WHY? Although I am far from being any type of conspiracy theorist, the 'why' is something I've pondered for some time and with potential monsters beating on our front doors, now is as good as time as any to run this by a very knowledgeable crowd.

Thanks!
