There has been a lot of progress in simulations of convection, mixing, and
turbulence in stars, and in asteroseismology. There is a history of
introducing new, additional parameters for each new test; It might be good
to have a wide-ranging and critical look at algorithms and tests, to decide
what we think we really know and what we merely fit by parameter
adjustment.
