To answer both, there's no consequence. So I choose not to invent a completely arbitrary prior.

I do enjoy fantasizing about possible measurable consequences of particular types of simulations. Perhaps if I'm interesting enough, I'll be copied into other simulations; perhaps we can discover some artifact of variably approximate simulation when no important observer is near, etc.
