My thoughts exactly when it comes to simulating the real world for games, etc. An accurate simulation is only good for science, otherwise there's boundless detail that we don't pay attention to in the real world. Part of that I think is that we can examine anything in front of us in detail, but trying to recall the exact pattern or shade of colour of something arbitrary like the footpath outside your favourite café is impossible. We just can't do it.

This is true, but I sometimes find myself, nonetheless, wishing in some game that I could stop, pull out a microscrope or something, and go muuuuch deeper.
