Do you ever wonder if we are all just living in some elaborate holodeck program created by Lieutenant Reginald Barclay of Star Trek? We could always shout "holodeck off". But he probably has the holodeck programmed to accept only his commands. And calling 911 would make no difference because the phones would all be locked into the simulation.
How would you ever know? A Holodeck program is a closed system. Moriarty only found out because he was told and the Holodeck malfuncitoned.
