'''The Concept of "Verification vs. Validation"''':
* '''Verification''': "Did I build the model right?" (Is the code bug-free?).
* '''Validation''': "Did I build the right model?" (Does it actually look like a real city?).
Analyzing the "Truthfulness" of a simulation is the most difficult part of ABM.
