It just occurred to me that you would want to be REALLY careful that there wasn't a bug in either your shuffling or list checking code.
If you started using quantum suicide for all your problems eventually you'd make a mistake. :)
If I'm following the reasoning (if "reasoning" is in fact the right word, which I'm unconvinced of), you wouldn't make any world-destroying mistakes that it's possible for you not to make, since only the version of you that (by chance) made no such mistakes would survive.
And, obviously, there's no point in even trying to avoid world-destroying mistakes that it's not possible for you not to make.
