The Earth is round to keep you from walking out of the simulator. If it was flat, there'd be a door or something.

It's like catching a little kid in a lie and they just keep on making up more and more hilarious crap to cover the initial lie. Each lie builds on itself requiring a bigger, more ridiculous lie to cover it up and before you know it, you went from who ate the missing yogurt to now the sky is a glass dome, the sun is a giant flashlight that the government turns on and off and the moon only glows because of magical glow worms that live on its surface

Haha yeah I can see how it's similar, specially if you have never read about it yourself and someone says "we actually live under a dome", which means everything must be explained another way, since there is no space, no satellites, nothing. :)
