Like, two 1k ohm resistors might actually be 980 ohms and 1020 ohms because of manufacturing variations. Well, ngspice lets you run Monte Carlo simulations that take these variations into account. It runs the simulation a bunch of times with slightly different component values each time, and it gives you a range of possible outcomes. That's a real game-changer when you're trying to build a circuit that can handle the chaos of the real world.
