Abstract
Some personal (and inevitably biased) thoughts pertinent to the Monte Carlo method are shared with the readers. In this mass production process of papers we are pausing and asking ourselves some nagging questions. Various aspects of philosophy of the method are discussed. The role of it in stochastic mechanics is elucidated and some questions are posed in view of promoting a further constructive discussion.
