    A simulated human brain could read the Wikipedia article on pain

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain> ] and integrate this
    knowledge into its knowledge base, but it could not experience pain.

    How do you know this so-called fact?

No, but I can talk about them as tested and disproven.
