“…For instance, Albert et al [2], Chassin and Posse [18], Lewis [49,, and Wang and Rong [74] make claims about the vulnerability of an electric power grid to attack using surrogate models that essentially ignore the physics of alternating current. Also, a number of authors make claims about the resilience of the Internet to attack or random disruptions (e.g., Albert et al [3], Cohen et al [21]), but none attempt to validate their work using an industry-standard network-simulation package (e.g., Lucio et al [51]), or attempt to validate with experiments on real networks (e.g., Zaragoza and Belo [81]). These surrogate models might be useful, but we do not know.…”
