Right, I was considering that. However, that opens up a whole can of worms regarding whether knowledge can be known in a deterministic universe, not to mention a simulated one. Fascinating possibility for discussion, a welcome change from the mostly programming-based threads.

If you're willing to assume that it's possible to simulate the universe deterministically, then by definition you know everything about the universe (both simulation and real). But I don't think that is a justifiable assumption at this point.
