What does 1:1 representation actually mean? (self.elitedangerous)

Question: Question: ED is said to be 1:1 representation of the galaxy, but how precise is it?

Can we find systems I -game that haven't been found/registered irl? and would they exist irl? Would they be represented correctly in-game and to what extend?

Worth noting that it is also 1:1 in terms of distance and size. Stars are massive and very far apart. We're it not for FTL, going across stars would take at least decades. The only gripe is asteroids are kind of small where in real life they can be hundreds of kilometers large, but hey.

Deep core explosion of a giant asteroid would be tight.
