A version that's not even a little insulting might look something like "Not all simulations are ancestral."

There's a difference between “it is unreasonable to think X” and “not X”. (Let X equal “the sixteenth decimal digit of the fine structure constant is 3”, for example.)

(I'd use “There's no obvious good reason to think that all simulations are ancestral.”)
