when i say "at any given time" i mean, over the lifespan of a bat.  for example, a bat at 3 weeks of age would not be perfectly simulated by an ai with perfect knowledge of bats unless it restricted itself to containing perfect knowledge of the experience of 3 week-old bats, and at that point even further scrutiny would reveal that bats are do not possess collective consciousness and so really we should only be simulating a single bat if we desire to emulate perfect bat-knowledge. we would have to simulate the bat planck-length by planck-length of time, at which point we might as well say it is indistinguishable from the experience of a real bat with no other knowledge. if it knew other pieces of information, it would no longer behave as a bat does, and would thus produce inferior bat-data to an ignorant bat.
