I agree with you, and I don't think examining our ostensibly-simulated reality could tell us anything about base reality except perhaps that base reality is more complex. (Even that, I'm not so sure of.) I believe that anything we can learn from within the simulation is information we've been allowed to measure, specifically. That is, Pac-Man thinks the entire universe exists inside a blue-walled maze, because we—the simulators—haven't given him access to anything else.
