I can tell you that at my work we have lengthy and sometimes heated debates over the definition and use of a simulation and an emulation.

Is the software physics based or purely math based. Are the underlying algorithms deterministic or stochastic? How many cycles does your software process before producing and displaying a result?

I often wonder if OOTP is truly stochastic in that it allows the user to change the variables when both hitting and pitching.

But it is also based on what the user expects and their understanding of statistical analysis and probability distributions.

Me, I just like baseball and want to watch the Cubs lose.
