If the computer code running this simulation is that good to never have bugs, then the simulation is functionally identical to the meatspace real universe from our POV. So I don't know if there's any point thinking about it other than idle curiosity. But I do worry that for some simulation believers it could become an excuse to have less empathy towards fellow humans.
