Dear Manu,

QE works according to the GIGO principle:

--
garbage in, garbage out [¦gär·bij ′in ¦gär·bij ′au̇t] (computer science)
A phrase often stressed during introductory courses in computer
utilization as a reminder that, regardless of the correctness of the
logic built into the program, no answer can be valid if the input is
erroneous. Abbreviated GIGO.
