A commish doing this in an online league is very blatantly cheating and will not have a league for long when he is caught. Even if we bought into the 'they do it in RL' as you say everyone in the league would need to have the ability to sim ahead under their own parameters for it to be even remotely fair.
I actually wouldn't have a problem with other GM's being able to sim ahead. The simulation is never the same twice.

Also, in effect, simming ahead is in all actuality simulating you simulation. Your "real" players are the ones that play the actual sim that gets exported to the league file.
