Sure my sims wont be 100% accurate, but they will be more accurate than just assumptions that leave out many variables.

Or not. The problem with many simulations is that there is no way to determine whether they have been biased by playing rules that don't reflect the game being simulated. It's not that the answers are necessarily wrong, it's that there is no way to assess there validity.

Simulations like TTH are at their best when used to compare different hands. The simulation may be biased in assessing the value of (say) A8o, but it is likely to apply a similar bias to A7o because the same playing rules are used. You may not get an accurate idea of how good A8o is, but you can see how much better it is than A7o.
