Your point was stated thus:

"And my point was that you have no way, absolutely no way of knowing if AI has a reason for doing X or not unless you simulated it on faster hardware, and then you’d have no way of predicting if the faster machine had a reason for doing X unless you simulated it on a even faster machine, and then you’d have no way…"

If you'd like to include 'Pinky and the Brain' scenarios, would you like to restate your point?
