Mitchell, in your previous post you suggested that the natural way to get probabilities in MWI is just by looking at relative frequencies of branches. Obviously if the representation theorem is correct, this strategy must be incompatible with some of the assumptions. The relevant assumptions here are (5) and (7).
Wallace gives a good example illustrating why the counting rule violates (5) and (7) on page 28 of the paper I linked above.
