Though I think you could have picked a better analogy (specifically, one that makes significant predictions about the future), I agree with what you're saying. Let me say what I should have said:
The thing is, quantum mechanics looks like the Copenhagen interpretation. The Copenhagen interpretation and the many-worlds interpretation are practically identical in the predictions they make. Therefore, if you want to explain an observed phenomenon, it's perfectly valid to explain it in terms of wavefunction collapse.
