Sure but thought experiments are not actual experiments. In fact thought experiments are... exactly the same as simulations.

To be more clear a pure thought experiment doesn’t invalidate a theory on it’s own. It’s the conflict between the results and either past or future observations/experiments that invalidates the theory. Plenty of theories that gave what seemed like insane results happened to work out.
