Entropy itself is as good a case as you can make against reality simulation. Trees fall in the forest and do make a sound; and with that sound they produce more information than is feasible to simulate. The infinite complexity of reality would be unnecessary or even debilitating to recreate artificially. $20 says he'll be in a looney bin in six months. It's a sad story, but I've seen such cases more than I'd like to admit.
