It's a really pointless theory, though...
...and proves nothing whatsoever. If the simulation is that convincing, then it can't be tested or proved one way or the other, so what's the point of speculating? You might as well promote the theory that we're all figments of God's imagination. Or I could promote the theory that only I am real and everything else is in my imagination. Great for stoner "Wow, that's, like, sooooo profound!" conversations, but of no interest whatsoever otherwise.

Yup. Any philosophical position
where the best and most intelligent possible response is essentially "Yeah, and...?" isn't doing its job properly.
