Isn't this, along with so many other problems, a candidate for our sometime friend the anthropic principle? That is: only in a conscious configuration field which has memories of perceptions of an orderly universe is the dust theory controversial or doubted? In the vastly more numerous conscious configuration fields with memories of perceptions of a chaotic and disorderly universe lacking a rational way to support the observer the dust theory could be accepted a priori or at least be a favored theory.

Ahem, this is circular logic. "The vast majority of observers that exist according to Dust Theory should accept it, therefore Dust Theory is true."

(This comment is essentially a reformulation of DanArmak's objection, which I completely agree with.)
