Wargames
Wargames (or war games) are a technique used to simulate humanitarian decision problems.
These simulations can focus on any task of strategical importance; such as forecasting, logistics, pre-empting, stress-testing, or resource allocation — and they can cover virtually any crises; such as wars, pandemics, climate change, or election fraud
The sector gets most of its funding from governmental entities — mainly the military — and uses video- and tabletop games to simulate the events. Hence the name.
Wargames are an economic option to test plans in advance for serious crises. They are intended to aid decision-making by simulating the consequences of one's actions.
However, it is important to understand that wargames can easily yield misleading results; the games' effectiveness is heavily dependent on the quality of the game design and the behaviour of the players.

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
