Since we may be in a simulation, in the imagination of a god
Even then, what the simulation is actually simulating or what the god is actually imagining would still be a matter of fact on which people could disagree but at least one of them would be wrong.
That’s true, but I was trying to emphasize the angle that if you are in a universe where the “ground truth” is being hid from you by an adversarial simulator/god, then you very likely won’t ever be able to know the objective truth. And since we can’t ever know 100% that we aren’t in such a situation, it’s pointless to make claims with certitude about the “true” nature of reality. Much better to stick to what we expect to happen in our own domain.

Not necessarily true.
Why couldn’t god create a reality that is illogical, chaotic, contradictory and random?
