Why it is (nearly) impossible that we live in a simulation

The abstract concludes with:
> "On the other hand, our results show that it is just impossible that this Universe is simulated by a universe sharing the same properties, regardless of technological advancements of the far future."
But isn't the assumption that the "encapsulating system" must inherently be more "powerful" than our own, in the same way that computer systems running simulations function?
> I study turbulence, shocks, magnetic fields and relativistic particles in the Universe using challenging large cosmological simulations.
