The opinion of some weird being outside our reality is still an opinion. It's not objective, it's just external and (as usual) unfalsifiable. It also has no practical applications, even if true.
I think Mystic is falling foul of a very common problem, "all or nothing" binary thinking. If something is in any way an opinion, or in any way finite, or in any way challengable, it is worthless. This is clearly not true, as our entire lives exist within this grey area, and they matter to us and to each other. I don't give a monkeys what the opinion of the guy who set up this simulation is. We're here making the best of it.
