It is a curious and interesting speculation, because as processing power 
ad address space have gone up, so many things that were simply 
impossible, have become commonplace.

Like real time simulation.

And massively parallel computer models, that are fantastically accurate 
creators of arbitrary results when based on suspect data and 
assumptions...:-)
