    But how was the bike pushed? Was it pushed by an imperfect human, or by some sort of contraption?

      It was done inside a physics simulation.

        So it’s worthless? Not sure how to value virtual simulations of real world physical behaviour when it’s used to show something cool.

          Only because it is simulated? Pushing the same bike 800 times with the same force mechanically and measuring it doesn’t seem to me to net any more applicable knowledge.

            How do you learn something from a simulation, isn’t it just a way to see if the test you design makes sense? It could go differently in the real world?
