I wasn't feeling superior to you because you chose to reference non-MWI QM - I'm not confident about MWI myself, and would prefer we keep other interpretations alive until we can distinguish on the basis of evidence (or at least have a strong argument that space complexity deserves no place at all in our priors).
I am feeling superior to you now because you ignored a prevalent interpretation without giving mention to what interpretation you were using, and then when I tried to clarify you launched into a rant.
Is it really necessary to publish one's superior feelings?
Generally? No, not at all. Here, it was specifically a response to statements to the effect of "you're only bringing up MWI as an excuse to feel superior."
Still, I find it preferable if people keep their potentially offensive feelings private, even if these feelings arose as a reaction to being accused of having such feelings.
I offered the above more as explanation than defense. I certainly respect your point of view here; I have some further thoughts, but I'd rather sift through them a bit as I'm not sure they're actually coherent.
Fair enough.
