Part one is ad hominem, and has no relation to the validity of the argument.

As for part 2, the point is not that the world is certainly an illusion but that we don't know either way. Given that, meta-doubts are implied.

For me personally, my posistion is that rationally there is no way out of skepticism but that I believe it false on religious style faith.
