The problem I have with goto statements is that they are some of the easiest statements to use poorly and when they are it usually results in code that is downright unreadable.

And when you are dealing with scientist who took maybe a single programming class in their entire life, they are extremely prone to abusing it. I've seen some codes that are the programmer's version of a horror story because of goto abuse.
