I thought the rebuttal to this was covered in 'The Thirteenth Floor'. They don't have to simulate the entire universe, and it doesn't have to be consistent. Just the parts that the PCs are looking at.

I'm not even going to mention what tricks they can do with the rewind button.

Anyways this paper was likely written by an NPC.

I mean, it's a bunch of technical gobledygook from different fields in an Iranian journal dealing with holography claiming extraordinary results.

Reminds me of the Bogdanov affair.
