I agree that it's quite unlikely, but: just because you can't simulate something exactly doesn't mean that you can't get close enough so as to make no difference.
"Don't worry, our simulated humans differ from their originals by at least 1-2 parts in 1 million, so we haven't really cloned them, no matter what they tell you. Yes, they remember their original lives and behave to within experimental error identically, but due to fundamental measurement uncertainty they're not technically exact copies."

- roywiggins 4y agoI guess, but probably easier to magic up a couple dozen Boltzmann brains out of the ether than an in silica replica.
