if only to rule it out.
I don't see it as testable because there is no falsifiability. Success of simulations on our part does not imply that our universe is simulated and the failure does not prove that it is not.
Holly crap, this is completely flawed logic, even when an atheist uses it.
"Prove it isn't true"
Ok
Prove to me I am not getting a hummer right now from Angelina Jolie. Since you cannot see me right now, and she is real and I am real it must be true because I claimed it.
The ability to string a sentence together doesn't prove a damned thing otherwise my example would be true.
