But a programmatic way of generating plausible OCXO noise lets you
generally millions of times more data, over a much larger spectrum of
plausible operating conditions-- so that you can test the stability of
an algorithm over a wider collection of conditions.

It's not a complete replacement for using real data-- you should do
that too.  But it can be a much more comprehensive test.
