Embarrassingly parallel is right. Cache coherency was sacrificed in order to up the number of cores, though I suppose a Beowulf on a chip is still useful for some things.
I suppose that in your mind, the Vatican's response or lack of response only makes Dan Brown's fiction ring truer. Damned if you do, damned if you don't....
Let's face it, science is either politicized for governments and universities, or exploited for business and technology. I have yet to come across a independent scientist (like Newton or B. Franklin for example) or groups that truly confirm/repeat experiments.
Alas, Newton was not so pure
You need not give yourself the trouble of examining all the calculations of the Scholium. Such errors as do not depend upon wrong reasoning can be of no great consequence & may be corrected by the reader.
Nah, he'll be cleared, and resume his position. The emails imply that Jones is prickly sort of scientist who finds intrusive investigations, "audits", and smears to be irritating. A comprehensive review would just get in his way, and interfere with his work.
It's akin to being audited by the IRS or Inland Revenue. They might not find anything, but on the whole it's less stressful to have a lawyer and an accountant handle most of the talking.
It is politics, though. People are interpreting emails in their preferred context. The most publicized emails are devoid of scientific content. The actors in those emails aren't discussing the latest paper in Nature, or research methodology. They're discussing the rhetorical merits of a graph, or whether responding to a flawed study in some third rate journal gives credence to that study. The emails might be of interest to a historian of science, but it's not as if the archive is a graduate seminar in dendrochronology.
Two caveats: I have not trawled the archive, and the leaked.zip is a bit small for ten years worth of stored email.
Let's try to stay well clear of pot boilers. Art historians refer to the renaissance polymath as "Leonardo," not as "Mr. Da Vinci." Sidmilarly, Dante, rather than "Mr Alligheri" wrote the Divine Comedy.
Perhaps that position masks the true reason for opposing arming commercial ships: the cost. Estimates to put an eight person armed team aboard a ship for one week run as high as $165,000 USD.
So, 100,000 euros. Eight men (bigger boat,generally poor sightlines), twice the cost per man.
Take it for what you will. Honestly, it's not greed, it's razor thin margins.
Money. It all comes down to money. Small crews-- twenty-five to thirty crewmen on a large oil tanker. Flags of convenience---Liberia and Panama aren't really interested in hunting down pirates with their nonexistent navies, but they don't charge much for registration. The Suez Canal isn't getting as much business as it it used to. Ships that can fit are choosing to go 'round the Cape of Good Hope rather than pay the toll.
A mercenary team would cost $140,000 for a week's work. Maybe more.

Say, you spelled their names correctly! That's important, especially in the age of the search engine. You might use that orthographic knowledge to discover that after working at a Toyota research facility in france, both scientists essentially retired.
Further research would have revealed that Chili's has no restaurants in France, where the two reside, making the claim "they are now bus boys at Chili's" difficult to to square with reality...
Hyperbole? Creative License? Exaggeration? These things are not "Informative." They inject bias into what ostensibly should be a sober, dry, balanced, and emotionally uninvolving activity: Science!
OK. Why don't you go and buy a DenonLink receiver; a DenonLink SACD player, 100 m of unshielded cable, and test it!
Anecdotal data suggests that that it won't work. It's not that it's not less danceable, less musical, or less transparent. The player and receiver just won't sync.
DenonLink requires a shielded cable. Don't ask me why. Maybe it has something to do with "Low Voltage Differential Signaling". Such cables do not ordinarily cost $400; in fact Denon supplies one in the box; and a replacement for that part costs all of twelve dollars. Maybe you can find a cable that meets Denon's specs for even less. Perhaps even a generic Cat7?

Just as there is nothing stopping you from presupposing any "rebuttal emails" to be fraudulent.
I suppose that in your mind, the Vatican's response or lack of response only makes Dan Brown's fiction ring truer. Damned if you do, damned if you don't....
You can't play your best golf when you're injured.
'Tis a massive conspiracy. Perhaps it can be connected to the Rothschilds, and the Knights Templar.

Sure, but us English speakers make a point
"Us make a point?" That's hardly English.

I wonder what the error bars are those numbers are. Are they tidy enough to justify using two decimal points?
Whoever constructed that graph should be ashamed of himself. Perspective does not belong in a line plot.

The MV Sirius Star had a crew of just 25. The Knock Nevis, the longest ship ever constructed, had a crew of 40.
With some weapons, that technique is likely to result in jams and overheated barrels. It's also pretty expensive.
There have been proposals to pump smog into the stratosphere in order to combat global warming.
Interesting? Pah. The bloody poster didn't even get the names right. It's just a string of faux outrages, with no real meaning.
The Fujitsu Flepia has a color e-ink display. It's both expensive and slow.
