How / if to achieve a 'best fit' of provided values for simulators

In the DM group meeting of March 8th it came up that at times the specified values are merely a hint to the simulator and aren't something that should be hard overridden in case a more detailed model with a larger parameter set is present. E.g. one specifies the color (say enum 'red') of a vehicle to match it roughly for debugging reasons, but actually there is a highly detailed 3D model (which is also somewhat 'red') with reflection properties, maybe sensor-specific material properties and so on. The simulator should then use the higher fidelity model if possible. In the discussion a suggestion came up that the user should be able to specify if these values should be met hard or if a best-fit is acceptable. Possibly multiple different selections could be available. We need to answer the question on if and how this should be possible.
