For this to be a satisfying resolution to a thought experiment, I think I need to see justification for why this kind of fighting the hypothetical is OK even though ordinary kinds generally aren't.
Omega has an arbitrary amount of computer power and has dedicated 3^^^3 people-sims to the experiment. What is necessarily unbelievable about this? (please include standard caveats, like yes this doesn't fit in our universe etc)

You need to be able to know that Omega has arbitrary amounts of computing power. At some point, you won't be able to tell between the capacity of two super powerful computers.

Omega reverses sha-256, and the reversals are all limerick-meter summaries of the original. Omega replays your life history (found it in a sim). Omega shows you the computational machinery and the program which is running. Omega runs a program of your choosing.
