Tesla insisted he could run a machine in his head for weeks and then examine it for signs of wear, which as stated is not something a human mind can do; imagination does not simulate metal fatigue. What is plausible, and what engineers who work in three dimensions often report, is an unusually stable and manipulable mental model of a mechanism, good enough to catch design faults before anything is built.
