A simulation requires a simulator, and a simulator
operator/programmer/architect. The first implies and insists upon the
existence of the others. To say otherwise would be the real miracle. So
you are insisting upon the existence of a simulation without a
simulator or operator? Who is the one insisting upon the impossible now?
