I love this! I often think about whether to simulate or do, and I think a lot of it comes down to cost of making (often public) mistakes. In reality that cost is pretty subjective and some people happen to have thick enough skin to repeatedly eat the cost of doing and failing publicly. Maybe the cost of failing is not as high as we think
one really interesting perspective that i got from a designer but never figured out how to incorporate into the piece is that the level of simulation we should/have to do depends on how forgiving the medium is: e.g., metal can always be heated and bent back into shape but once you shave off a piece of wood, you can't really put it back
