I agree. The idea that low-entropy pockets that form are totally immune to a simplicity prior seems unjustified to me. The universe may be in a high-entropy state, but it's still got physical laws to follow! It's not just doing things totally at random; that's merely a convenient approximation. Maybe I am ignorant here, but it seems like the probability of a particular low-entropy bubble will be based on more than just its size.
