That summarizes the "what" of the idea. The "why" part is that classical physics violations are improbable so timelines with lots of classical physics violations would be improbable.

Well, it falls under the very known problem of any MWI: how can we say that some branch is improbable if all are realized?
Unless you reverse it: a branch is more improbable the more it violates classical mechanics.
