To simulate the buffet realistically, the aircraft turn performance should be reduced if one tries to fly in it.

It takes more power to fly in the buffet than it does in smooth air.

The harder an aircraft buffets and more stall warning it delivers, the more power it takes to produce the buffet.

This is exactly why you see aircraft with little to no stall warning and the advent of artificial stall warning devices like stick shakers. With the advent of stick shakers, designers are freed from providing aerodynamic stall warning and can maximize aerodynamic performance.
