My understanding is the proof doesn't use empirical frequencies -- though if we observed different frequencies, we'd have to start doubting either QM or the proof. The question is just whether the proof's assumptions are true rationality constraints or "wouldn't it be convenient if" constraints.

Everett and Evidence is another highly relevant paper.
