It's a good question. The other thing the man-things should know is that their models won't be perfect, either. Nor will these imperfect creations be under godly control. To succeed at all in creating a creative creature, the creators have to turn over control to the created, just as Yahweh relinquished control to them. To be a god, at least to be a creative one, one must relinquish control and embrace uncertainty.
Absolute control is absolutely boring.
The great irony of god games is that letting go is the only way to win.
