If it's not there, something is still going around redacting everything
to look like it is. That also requires a staggering amount of work, and
is also thoroughly incompatible with what we do with sims.
Oops, sorry, I see the rest of your post is jestfully taking a position

people will make it seriously.

Since when are we limited to direct sensoric experience? There's lots of
people investigating this in sophisticated ways. Are you seriously proposing
solipcism?
