Don't we experience reality as if we were a Boltzmann brain anyways?

Yes... and there's really no way to tell unless the simulation actually tells us.

An easy test for this is to ask anyone who's either on mind altering chemicals, or schizophrenic[0]. That makes it clear that you are really perceptually bound.

[0] I don't mean to say that these are even close to the same thing. I just want to pick two extreme examples.
