Then I wasn't clear enough, because that's not what I tried to say.

I think you should stop using words like "emulation" and "computation" when they're not actually needed.

I claim that the amount of introspection that is required to do so makes your formerly complex values appear to be simple.

Okay, then my answer is that I place value on things and people and concepts, but I don't think I place terminal value on whether said things/people/concepts are simple or complex, so again I don't think I'd care whether I would be considered simple or complex by someone else, or even by myself.
