You can always make local arguments that, say, some g can be substituted with some c.

The issue is broader than that. It concerns the premises of vast areas of physics -- you have to show they are more likely false than true.

This isnt an argument saying no c can be found for any given g, it's saying, "g-c gaps have empirical consequences we havent observed" and if we did, physics would be foundationally wrong

When they assert theorems like "classical TMs can simulate quantum TMs" they mean the simulation is gapless. Otherwise they use the term approximation.
