I think at this point it might be helpful to taboo "reality". I would rewrite your statement as something like this:
That sentence is unwieldy and, frankly, boring, but it does avoid making unwarranted assertions.
That said, going into this much detail is probably not useful. If you and your interlocutor can't even agree on whether both of you exist, there probably isn't much room for productive dialogue.
