Just like some DBs/A-holes can put on the 45 minute show in a face to face, almost anybody can go to the sim prep, spend the money, get the EXACT profile and go a good (enough) job.

Pre 9-11 the prep/gouge was out there for the basement UAL AST (or Frasca?) sim, in the 2005-2008 era at CAL, the prep/gouge was out there for the CAL sim, etc.
