Good morning Keith,
regardless of the merit of simulation, unless the rational message you give
also has has a simular emotional content/impact/meaning to the receiver as
it has to the giver, communication still fails. Correct me if I am wrong,
but I believe the purpose of simulation is to promote emotional equity with
the receivers, so there is a convergence, and may be a chance that we have a
somewhat more common language at both the rational and emotional level.
