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,

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.
