That's physicists' slang.
That means their simulation doesn't match their expectations, so they must "correct" the numbers to match the theory.
"Normal" means all their experiments show such irregularities, so they don't really pay attention anymore. Don't forget they are not used to ship products that must work ; they are theoricists. Quantum physics hasn't delivered anything for forty years.
The "mostly" means that there are so many that they just gave up and pretended it works fine instead.
Well, if you know a couple manager mumbling dialects, you don't have much problems reading between the lines of what physicists say. That's basically the same thing -- just a matter of convincing themselves and their investors that they are going to ship something... someday. And that it will mostly work. And that it's cool.
