36. One should realize, however, that a complete exploration of the available configuration space or a "complete" convergence is an unrealistic goal for any current simulation method because of computer time limitations. A realistic goal is to obtain sufficient convergence in the quantity under consideration without running infinitely long trajectories. This is why we have developped the SCAAS and LRF methods, which attempt to obtain reasonable convergence in electrostatic energies. As with any related scientific problem it is essential to examine whether one could reproduce the relevant observed quantity, while realizing that no simulation is perfect. In doing so, it is much more important to examine sensitivity to different boundary conditions and long-range treatments than to run one very long trajectory.
