Any flaw or blemish, if you will, that exists in that universe will not be discovered by science in its present form because the blemish will appear, and be disguised, in the results of the scientific enquiry, not through coincidence, but because science is working with the 'contaminated' factor-e.g. the 'fake' universe-or in other words, a flaw in the core function will replicate in all other results. Hope that is clear.
It's clear that it's rubbish because, and non of you have adequately dealt with this yet, if the universe is virtual you have a more complex universe because a virtual universe must be "hosted". That means a real universe is simpler and therefore a more realistic assumption.
