Humphreys seems to have doubts about some of the uses of computer models in economics and psychology, when they use mechanisms too simple or obscure to be plausibly operating in the systems studied.

Humphreys, 44 years old, is a Canadian citizen, resides in Canada, and, at all relevant times, was licensed in Canada as a chartered accountant.
On December 12, 2002, Humphreys was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York on one count each of conspiracy, securities fraud, and bank fraud.
The Commission alleged, among other things, that Winger and Humphreys knowingly or recklessly engaged in a fraudulent accounting scheme in which Commission filings made by Safety-Kleen between November 1998 and March 2000, and press releases issued by the company during the same time period, contained materially false and misleading financial statements and disclosures.
