Sidhekin:
How about: "It's only a model"?

The only way chess could be more Freudian is if the goal were to kill your own king and capture your own queen.

"It's just a model" has the same problem as "It's just a simulation". Critics of strong AI like to say "You can't get wet in a simulated rainstorm". OK, but that means if you do get wet then the rainstorm is not simulated, and if something displays the results of thinking then it IS thinking.

Sidhekin:
"It's only a model" has the advantage, though, that if you paste it into a Google search box, the results are awsome. ;-)
