		+	:The lower number is not from Lego and does not cite a reference. My guess is they have just grabbed a very old number for their "fun facts-list". Or recycled the list repeatedly, they updated that page in 2025 but haven't changed the number since at least 2020. I think the other number seems more reliable since it is an official LEGO report. I will change the article accordingly. [[Special:Contributions/188.149.51.3\|188.149.51.3]] 14:27, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

	This strikes me as having a curious overlap with {{w\|The Simulation Argument}}: If it is possible for technology to ever allow a civilization's members to casually run simulated universes, or even worlds, on their personal computers, then eventually there would be more human beings living in simulated worlds than the real one, meaning that (in an abstract sense that does not really conform strictly with the science of probability) it is more likely that WE are in a simulation, than in the real, original universe containing the simulations. — [[User:Kazvorpal\|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal\|talk]]) 16:09, 16 December 2016 (UTC)		This strikes me as having a curious overlap with {{w\|The Simulation Argument}}: If it is possible for technology to ever allow a civilization's members to casually run simulated universes, or even worlds, on their personal computers, then eventually there would be more human beings living in simulated worlds than the real one, meaning that (in an abstract sense that does not really conform strictly with the science of probability) it is more likely that WE are in a simulation, than in the real, original universe containing the simulations. — [[User:Kazvorpal\|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal\|talk]]) 16:09, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
