This is an interesting point - if I create a fully accurate model that allows me to quickly simulate the outcome of any input, then that becomes an oracle that I can query to better understand the problem. But this then leads me to think that my understanding would then be a simpler mental model of what the simulation does, which brings me back to the original paradox.
