In the dawn of the multi-messenger era including gravitational waves, which\nwas marked by the first ever coincident detection of gravitational waves and\nelectromagnetic radiation it is important to lay back and think about\nestablished knowledge. Numerical simulations of binary neutron star mergers and\nsimulations of short GRB jets have to combine efforts in order to understand\nsuch complicated and phenomenologicaly rich explosions. We review the status of\nnumerical relativity simulations with respect to any jet or magnetized outflow\nproduced after merger. We compare what is known from such simulations, with\nwhat is used and obtained from short GRB jet simulations propagating through\nthe BNS ejecta. We point out facts that are established and can be considered\nknown, and things that need to be further revised and/or clarified.\n
