Because science is not looking for the absolute truth. Science is one (of many) method of knowledge generation.. which stands upon logic .. given P and Q .. we conclude X. And that will be true even if one day discover that given P and Q and R.. we conclude Y. Science is not interested in asserting statements without constraints.. for that.. you’d be better off with philosophy. And then things can get weird really quickly. Take this conclusion as example “Only universes with very different physical properties can produce some version of this Universe as a simulation” so my take can might as well be .. “oh, so the simulator has different properties”… and someone else might think “oh, so we don’t live in a simulation” and there is no way to know which one is actually true. Because we are just limited to what we know and even more so.. what we can know. So we just affirm based on a certain knowledge that we already have.
