| reformulate. Like the Kobyashi Maru (total geek reference) sometimes you can win by changing the rules. What if you don't care that the absolute numbers are realistic or not. Instead, you can compare to a simulation of the stock plenum and find the percentage improvement. If you can verify that the ratio of answers is correct for some test case, you can go on to other cases with some belief that the ratio of numbers will be relevant there also. It's a start. A lot easier than ensuring 1 month of continuous uptime for a laptop.
