No, I'm referring to the fact that people are crazy and the world is mad. You don't need to reach so hard for an explanation of why no one's invented UDT yet when many-worlds wasn't invented for thirty years.
I also don't think general madness is enough of an explanation. Both are counterintuitive ideas in areas without well-established methods to verify progress, e.g. building a working machine or standard mathematical proof techniques.
