You're shifting the burden of proof on to me when the original commenter is the one who made the claim that simulation theory is supported by our current understanding that the universe will contain black holes much longer than it contains stars.

That claim isn't based on any scientific rigor or has any elements that make predictions about reality that can be tested. It's the scientific argument of "wouldn't it be sick if.."
