But it's not breaking the engine, it's producing normal results. iow the engine is conforming/massaging extreme inputs into normal outputs.

The basis scenario is equivalent to figuring out how well sunscreen would work at 1000 degrees.
I think it's the opposite, meaning you wouldn't expect the sunscreen to produce normal results. The whole realistic/unrealistic direction is misleading because the engine is not producing extreme outputs with extreme inputs, so it is the opposite in theory with the sunscreen analogy.
