Your article still looks incomplete to me; there is quite a bit Eliezer_Yudkowsky presented to justify MWI that doesn't appear to be addressed here. I'm not just comparing lengths of what each of you wrote; there is quite a bit of inferential distance he worked through and you would have to cast strong doubt on at least one of those steps to have a case.

Eliezer's expository series doesn't really engage with the other interpretations (see my reply to cousin_it). It is an enthusiastic exposition of a particular approach, but it is nothing like a serious examination of how it stacks up in comparison with the other options.
