By simulation I mean in the Impaglazzio-Widgerson [IW98] sense, i.e sub-exponential deterministic simulation which appears correct i.o to every efficient adversary.
I think this is a proof: if $EXP\neq BPP$ then from [IW98] we get that BPP has such simulation. otherwise we have that $EXP=BPP$ which implies $RP=NP$ and $EXP \in PH$ now if $NP=RP=ZPP$ we have that $PH$ collapse to $ZPP$ and as a result $EXP$, but this cannot happen because of the assumption, so $RP\neq ZPP$ and this by Kabanets paper "easiness assumptions and hardness tests: trading time for zero error" implies that RP has such simulation and as a result also NP.
This sound like a basic result, anyone knows if it appears anywhere?
