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.
