But the argument is not: ‘Shrimp are hard to locate’.
The claim is: Shrimp experience (1) consists of quite few bits and (2) is still compressible. Therefore we can expect them to be generated by a quite short program that is plausibly shorter than K(our physics + initial conditions + locator).
And if you think shrimp have too complex experiences, then feel free to insert e.g. ‘planaria’ or ‘bacteria’.
No, I am not sure!

Does that clarify?
