It's still a game and not real.

Simulations aren't real, either. So what?

War games aren't real. Are you suggesting that military organizations

Actually, I can draw quite a few conclusions, and they will be accurate.

There's an old school that still dismisses simulation, but it's steadily
shrinking.
