“We believe that the avoidance-maneuver tests we conduct provide consistent results and closely simulate a read-world situation in which a driver needs to suddenly steer around an obstacle in the road. In our view the tests are repeatable and valid.”
Consumer Reports
“With some other technologies in the high-tech world, you can actually very accurately simulate it on the computer and know what you're building before you build it. In RF, you can't do that. You're not relying on the software to do the work for you. It's really the engineer's brainpower.”
Dave Shepard
“If you make this stuff correctly, the result should be simulating what happened in the field.”

“There's a dual use behind this test. The other possible use is to improve on the computer simulations that they use for new weapons designs.”

“[the crew has been "killed" in a simulator accident] Jim Lovell: Well, Deke; if I had a dollar for every time I've been killed in that thing, I wouldn't have to work for you. We'll get it together by launch time.”
Apollo 13
“I think it's actually easier for me to simulate him than it would be a Peyton Manning, ... but you can't do it to the full extent. You can't stand there flat-footed and sling the thing 65, 70 yards off your back foot, or when you take off and run.”
Doug Flutie
“I think it's actually easier for me to simulate Vick than Peyton Manning, but you can't mimic him to the full extent. You can't stand there flat-footed and fling the thing 65 or 70 yards off your back foot (like Vick can). I've got a little bit of a burst, but I can't run a 4.2, that's for darn sure. You see guys on film take the wrong angle on him all the time because he's so fast. You know he's fast, but you don't know how fast until you watch him in person.”
