Abstract: Since this paper by Gerson and Maffei (Gerson, M. L., R. B. Maffei. 1963. Technical characteristics of distribution simulators. Management Sci. 11 (3, October) 62-69.) was selected for publication to appeal to those of practical inclination who, like myself, favor the inclusion of applied papers amongst the theoretical ones, it is open to criticism on practical as well as theoretical grounds. My main criticism is directed at the emphasis they placed on the size and complexity of their computer program that allegedly solved this admittedly large and complex problem.
