Where is the FACT in the above statement? It is more like an opinion
and everyone is entitled to have one. I do not see why SPICE
models should be ESPECIALLY less "accurate". Is it possible to
prove the above statement? I agree with the first half of the statement
that no model is accurate for all uses and both ibis and spice models
have that limitation.

I think it is possible to say good things about IBIS without
saying bad things about SPICE. Why should it always be necessary
to defend IBIS by bad mouthing SPICE? Both serve different but
useful purposes.
