We can’t accurately simulate the physical behavior even of pure water. (Yet; and from other reading about this I’ve done recently, it’s a long way off.) Therefore: Fantasies about simulating brains are fantastical.https://twitter.com/ashleythesmart/status/1032294373382340608 …
What kind of possibility? It doesn't seem like a bad argument if all you're trying to prove is physical possibility.

It's a map-territory error. We simulate atomic theory, not atoms. The above shows that water doesn't reduce to atomic theory.

I feel like saying the observed behavior of water "doesn't reduce" to theory is too strong of a claim if that is to say it wouldn't reduce to even an improved theory (agreed, not with present-day theory.) As for rules vs instances the problem there is more with nonlinearity/chaos
