-The `check_model()` function is the main reason we don't want to prematurely extract the residuals in `simulate_residuals()`, because if we do then the `simulated_residuals` won't contain the model fit (`fittedModel` in the output below), so we won't be able to do all of the checks we would want to do using the model.
