Yes, but the issue is confidence. We have great confidence in how brakes work, but many could become more dubious about BB Theroy - "its just another theory and, now, one without a working computer model" may be their cry. Its a credibility issue.

They will ignore the wonderful concordance discovered for BBT and ignore the difficulty involved in producing a computer model for the entire universe. They do, however, know about the weather and our limitations to model it.
