> Can it really be said to be a "simulation" at that point?
Nope. And even if our reality really is a "simulation" in the sense that we're just the result of a program running on a computer, that simulation is so comprehensive that I don't think it could be called a simulation at all. It's just a different layer of reality.
If you perfectly simulate something, after all, you haven't simulated it at all -- you've created the real thing.
