I disagree with the claim. I’m posting this link to foster discussion of what might be simulated and what might not.
I might agree with the technical claim—precisely simulating macroscopic results of quantum effects—if I were qualified which I am not. But I don’t think that is necessary. If scientists can come up with measurable macroscopic effects (like the cited one), then a sufficiently sophisticated simulation can come up with observations matching these expectations.
Agree. The real point of a simulation is to use less computational resources to get approximately the same result as in reality, depending on the goal of the simulation. So it may simulate only surface of the things, like in computer games.
