What the frakking Hell? Dust theory on its face gives almost uniformly false predictions. Now, we are admittedly confused about how to assign probabilities in cases like this, but confusion is a bad reason to adopt a radical new view of reality. That's not how confusion is supposed to work.
Could you name a few?
Discontinuities in the observed laws of physics, before I finish typing this. Nope, still wrong on its face.
Which laws of physics in particular?
No laws in particular: all laws in general.
Why should it disobey every observed law of physics? Are you arguing that conscious observers would almost certainly experience chaos? If so I agree with you. I don't accept 'pure' Dust Theory.
