The difference is that “conceiving” of a super-intelligent AI like a warming is not the same as “being” one. The Vex don’t have to actually create or understand a warming, they just need to be aware of the concept. No human would be smart enough to look at a vex simulation of a warmind and know that it isn’t the real thing.

But within the simulation there presumably exist Warminds, incorrectly simulated or approximated. Otherwise, this discussion would not be happening.

If you are part of the simulation though, you have no way of knowing that the Warmind is functioning 'improperly'. Just like you would have no idea 'real' tree leaves are green.

So there is zero evidence from which to say "Warminds cannot be simulated" since you are yourself part of the simulation.

The Vex could have noticed in reality that the Warminds were beyond their ability to simulate accurately. So in their simulation, they have simulated warminds that, while being inferior to real warminds, still defeat the simulated vex. That’s the thing about a simulation... the Vex could even include false defeats just to sell the simulation.
