I wouldn’t consider it simple math, nor accurate math.
It is a bold statement that makes assumptions about underlying probabilities that are simply impossible to quantify realistically. Even more so as the theory was developed well before computers and human space exploration.
It is an intriguing thought experiment, but not an established scientific theory.

Yeah, this bit always gets me too when people say that we’re statistically almost certain to live in a simulation.
Ah, statistics. The branch of mathematics famous for being reliable and accurate when extrapolating from a single point of data.
