Putting my interpretation on this, I hope Greg means that because
Russell has used a simplified model, errors are less likely to creep
in (it's hard to have a bug in the economic system if you don't have
one!).

We should although remember that only a fraction of the Olympia map
had been explored.  We "old" players were all grouped on the "main"
continent.  The New Lands had not been open very long, and there was
still a large portion of relatively unexplored territory (such as
Shavnor Island, which only had a couple of players on it.).
