This is why it is so important for scholars to be involved in VR design, recognizing problems like this and pushing to solve or mitigate them. VR is a constructed environment, one that requires scholarly rigor. It is not set.

What is being missed here is a conversation about terminology. Facsimile is a limited term with many inaccuracies. Terminology always allows certain types of arguments to be made. I have an essay, More than Meets the Eye that discusses terminology. Dot Porter has a recent blog
