His soap bubble analogy is pretty cool. There is a direct analogy for filtering where its impossible to get instantaneous perfect response out of a filter, either DSP simulated or hardware. It would seem that merely filtering a signal is much simpler than simulating the airflow across a wing or whatever.
There are also conceptual issues that the airflow across a wing is ideally under stable low angles of attack, constant, but during "fun times" which is precisely when you'd want a model instead of a test pilot, the air flow will vary over time (to the general detriment of flying ability...) so what it means to instantly solve a wing is unclear in itself.
