Realism: Is 100% really 100%?

I had a funny thought. I'm actually proud of the fact that for a while now, I've been playing the game with 100%realism settings. But it occured to me that it's not a "true" 100%. I'm not talking about the fact that no matter how good a sim is, you could never really create a feel for how it really was. I know that. What I'm talking about is the unfair advantage we have in that we know the history. We know what happened. We know the problems. For example. The defects in the early war Mk14 torpedoes. We know what the problems were. If you select dud torpedoes, are you really going to purposely fire torpedoes with settings that you know are probrably going to cause a misfire? I don't know. I guess to keep things interesting. It's hard though when that carrier or battleship crosses your scope
