Doesn't like them, or doesn't know how to attend to them. Although in this instance, at least, it might work in our favor.

[She does think carefully about it, though. Ari's demand for a high standard of proof for everything in the black binder means that she'd be a hypocrite if she accepted other theories as truth just because she liked the sound of them, or liked the people advancing them.]

I think it's a sound and logical conclusion, even if not a definitive one.

I ruled out the simulation theory eventually because I thought that he would have a greater degree of technical knowledge if he were capable of creating one, even an imperfect one. I did consider that the man calling himself Captain might be another part of the simulation, but that strays very quickly into metaphysics, causes-of-causes speculatory stuff that ultimately leads nowhere. For me, it's better to proceed as if the other people here are all real, even if there's a small probability that they aren't.
