??? -- Computer Simulations in Science (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)Simulation is not a scientific term, because everything can be reproduced by simulation. Simulations never give us understanding of how the laws of nature work.
If you have a successful simulation, then you claim your theory a successful explanation for the observations. If you have a failed simulation, then you keep tweaking your parameters until you get a successful simulation. That is not science.
