Should SE scale high end content difficulty towards the usage of SIM ?

[CaedemSanguis]

Sim is a time saver, that is literally it.
It does not affect the difficulty of the fight in the slightest.

Please do not equate time spent progging as fight difficulty.

Why doing 15mn-20mn fights if consistency was not a difficulty

Why doing 15mn-20mn fights if consistency was not a difficulty

Consistency is consistency. Not difficulty.

Consistency is consistency. Not difficulty.

It's kind of a silly distinction. A lot of people might think something like partial differential equations is a difficult subject or quantum mechanics. Difficulty and time spent are analogous. A lot of "difficult" things are really just time consuming. Mastering years worth of mathematics to study things like quantum mechanics takes time, and thus quantum mechanics is considered "difficult" but if you've spent the time developing the requisite skills then it isn't particularly hard. Ultimately, difficulty is nearly inseparable from the idea of time spent, and consistency IS directly proportional to time spent in the context of ultimates.

Consistency is consistency. Not difficulty.

With that logic a driver only needs to make 1 proper turn in a race, instead of being able to perform full laps for over an hour.

Consistency is part of difficulty. And depending on the lenght of the content (10mins or 20mins) consistency takes a bigger portion. If content gets made long enough, consistency can be the only difficulty part, which is what makes a lot of retro games high scores such a big achievement. Being consistent for 8 hours is extremely difficult. Even in easier content, it becomes the difficulty.
