     I didn't reply to the second half of your question, are simulations 
valuable.  In some situations they are essential.  I sincerely hope that 
health workers simulate surgeries and many other procedures before they 
are done on a person or animal.  In fact, I personally believe that the 
best education in nearly every case is to allow (require) the student to 
behave as nearly as possible as they would as working models.  Maybe 
another way of saying it is that I do not believe in art (music, 
literature, science, etc.) appreciation courses, but I strongly endorse 
music lessons, drawing classes, math courses (the more applied the 
better) and so forth.  If the student cannot solve a real probelm because 
of time, expense or safety, then they should be doing simulations.
