i mean, if you're looking at it, it's obviously important enough to simulate.
and what, specifically, do you think you would notice if it was in some way simplified? how can you be certain about the leaves on your balcony? you have no objective frame of reference to compare "full detail" simulation.

basically the argument I was trying to make is: if it wasn't simulated I wouldn't be looking at it, and I wouldn't find it strange at all because I would be living in a world where that thing doesn't exist

exactly, I wouldn't notice anything.
My argument is: if those beings are so smart that they created this awesome simulation, how could they be so dumb that they wasted time simulating unneeded details?

why do you think this isn’t constantly happening?
>how could they be so dumb that they wasted time simulating unneeded details?
if it’s within your perception, it’s needed detail.
and what, specifically, do you think you would notice if it was in some way simplified? how can you be certain about the leaves on your balcony? you have no objective frame of reference to compare "full detail" simulation.
