The interesting thing with Nozick's experience machine isn't what you would do if one existed. It's trying to explain why plugging in feels like the wrong choice, even when there aren't any obvious flaws in the nature of the experience you could quickly point to. The answer to this question and its implications will quite possibly have relevance to choices we can expect to face in the near future, even if they will not feature a fully functional experience machine.
