If you cannot distinguish the illusion from the reality why would you assume there is a holodeck?
Nothing better to do.

That you can imagine such means that the effort to afford a perfect illusion can be circumvented and therefore the illusion can no longer be perfect.
Nope. In fact, if the illusion didn't present the concepts necessary to contemplate that it's possibly an illusion, the illusion would be imperfect. It would be obvious to anyone with the required concepts that it's a construct designed to keep its inhabitants in the dark. So, such an illusion is not perfect because there's the potential for an out.
The perfect illusion would be impenatrable to even those with the required concepts. You can think that it might be an illusion, but there's no way to tell if it is.
