[quoteI ran a sim with n=10k

If you simmed it, I can live with our difference.

Unless his sim was on a much smaller sample, the difference is very unlikely due to chance. 10k should be more than sufficient here to get your answers closer than that.

The SE for your sime is about:

(.79 * (1 - .79)) / 100 = 0.001659, 1.6%

So you should be within 3% of the true answer, probably closer.
