I would say you can simulate something that doesn't exist. You can simulate a dragon attack, but that doesn't mean a dragon attack is real.
I would argue against immersion requiring an accurate simulation of events. Dungeons & Dragons games are terrible simulators of any actual events, and yet I can be immersed in them. I often am, and I don't even play the types of campaigns that are geared towards that. It isn't about realism, its about verisimilitude; it doesn't have to actually be like real life, but it has to be consistent with itself so that one can accept it as its own "reality" for lack of a better word.
And once again I have to agree with Cody, though I'm not calling anyone a hack. I just don't like to go there.
