People shouldn't build too much of their philosophy on top of the MWI, IMO. If evidence that relatively "distant" worlds are being deleted is found then they would have to revisit it all. That doesn't seem terribly likely - but we can hardly rule it out. Occam's razor just doesn't rule against it that strongly.
