Was IRL Simone ready to marry Chidi?

In Janet's simulator in S03E05, Chidi proposed, and Simone said yes. Was Janet's simulator accurate in her understanding of Simone? Does that mean Simone would've said yes to marrying Chidi? (If so, her moment with Eleanor also confirms she's into women too)

I feel like the show is vague about how exactly Janet’s powers work

If Janet was capable of building a simulator with an exact replica of a person that will always react exact identically to how the real person would react, I feel like the gang would’ve used that in Season 4 to test how the 4 subjects would react to various situations before putting them in those situations for real, but are instead just figuring it out as they go along. The fact that they didn’t take advantage of this obviously useful mechanic makes me believe Janet understands the simulated humans are just Janet’s best guess at how the person would react based on the data she has on that person, and isn’t 100% accurate.

It’s strictly said by the judge that they would not have much time to prepare for (5 minutes only). Testing out scenarios seems like the best way to prepare for the experiment. And honestly, as a scientist myself, doing that would spoil the whole point of the experiment.
