If the case-study pertained to banana custard stands, certainly rationality-related arguments would be devisable in a world without banana custard stands.

That aside - MWI being controversial is a fair point, which is why I didn't have anything to say about it in the post with the simulation analogy. I suppose I should have explicitly acknowledged that then, so you would not feel the need to raise it again. Sorry about that.

BTW, I hope you are not the one who immediately downvotes almost all my QM-related posts.

I am not. I have a batch of -1 posts elsewhere on this page myself, and I trust you're not behind them.

edit: oh come ON. How could this get upvoted? sheesh people. Maybe this could have been done in PM, but if it should have, then nail us both for it.

Just checked... No, not a single one is mine, though I did upvote a couple earler.
