simulation
A simulation is the act of ignoring reality's complexity to build a sandcastle of reassurance. Believing that lining up numbers reveals the future, yet in truth it only constructs a maze that hides the exit. Touted as a tool to derive ideal answers, it collapses like a paper tower at the slightest tweak of assumptions. It obliterates accountability with the thunderbolt of "model error", enchanting users to predict their own regrets. Finally, it offers the universal excuse awaiting every failure: 'insufficient simulation.'
