Not really pedantic to me. Am I the only one here old enough to remember "Drug Wars" on the Ti calculators? That was an actual sim game. This is not that.
Yes but 'it's a not a simulation' is both right and pedantic (it's not of material importance to the thing being showhn) and 'that's not actually pedantic' is, to my lights, pedantic and wrong! So by my (possibly pedantic) interpretation, I get the satisfaction of both.
