So like some people might hallucinate something, some might be misremembering something or misinterpreting something or making something up or like these things you would expect to take place anyway.

I think to create a simulation like this in the first place would be very hard and simulators advanced enough to do that would probably also have the ability to patch things up so that the creatures inside the simulation couldn't notice.

And if they did notice, they could sort of edit that out or rerun it from an earlier save point or

So if you recall the original simulation argument with these three possibilities, right?
