Fair. Perhaps obtuse was the wrong word. Inflexible is probably better, especially when someone brings up a reasonable point. This was the particular excerpt I was think of:

Unless by simulating a person they basically created a program that could eventually think for it's self (an AI) which in turn might be able to think outside the simulation.


Impossible. The rules of the simulation determine the entirety of the possibility space absolutely. There is no thinking “outside” of the simulation by something in it.

Says who?

I should elaborate. On the face of it, your statement correct. But people are asking about imagining something within the simulation that the simulation cannot simulate. That is different. You give an answer to a question that isn't asked.
