I think a variation of the argument is: You couldn't simulate the universe in the universe because you would need at least as many resources as the universe has but are limited to resources within the universe (unless you want to get hacky). I assume they are implying that this thought process may not apply.

One of the neat things about the argument in my paper is that it doesn't involve the parent AGI actually running the child AGI. It merely involves the parent writing source-code and knowing that IF it had enough resources to run the source-code, then the result would be a truthful AGI child.
