That's working on an issue from two different directions. We work towards considering a simulation probable because of what we ourselves are working towards creating.
Stating the cause/creator first and looking for evidence of it is not very reasonable.

We are so far from being able to do any such thing that I take issue with the phrase "working towards creating".
In fact, it pretty much boils down to the same thing, as far as I can tell. You have a simulation? Someone set it up. He/she/it is the creator of this universe.
[Edit: I should say that a simulation winds up being the same as a religion, but I'm not sure that a religion necessarily winds up being the same as a simulation.]
