Hi Stephen P. King
How can you know that the simulation is exact ?
Solipsim prevents that.
And who or what experiences the computer output ?

Hi Roger,
If we accept that the content of an experience can be exactly
duplicated by a sufficiently powerful computer, we have accepted that
they are the same thing. This is not to say that conscious experience is
itself "just a computation", no. There is a difference between the
simulability of an experience and the sense of being in the experience
that is the 1p.
