The mathematical models used to predict economic behaviour were flawed.
Recent work has shown that the "flaw tolerance" behaviour of such systems can be enhanced by embedding textured layers holding compressive stresses.
But with British inflation higher than its rivals', monetary policy needed to be tight.The real problem is that although politicians' macroeconomic behaviour has improved, it remains flawed.
Linear approximations of the behaviour of structures are often flawed due to the presence of non-linearities.
If the US and British government's most controversial pre-war decision was to go to war after ignoring the will of the UN security council, their behaviour after the invasion was as badly flawed.
Suppose the pattern of inter-individual growth partitioning changes with environmental conditions in favour of small or tall trees, then scaling up from dominant trees to the behaviour of the stand growth may become flawed.

If the observed human behaviours that dictate how an algorithm transforms input into output are flawed, we risk setting in motion a vicious circle when we hand over responsibility to The Machine.
Since your egregious behaviour is so closely matched by Oxbridge, really it's easier to say you're all deeply flawed, dishonourable winners in your own way.
