That makes sense. But thinking about OP's analogy, the information of a simulated trajectory of a rocket to the moon would also need to be delivered through a 2D monitor with finite resolution/framerate. Simulations will always be as good as our computing power gets, and the results will be "understood" as good as our perception gets. So, in some sense, both scenarios are the same.
