I don't know how to vote on this. I have very strong suspicions that MWI is incorrect (its Copernican allure is its only favorable point), but I disagree that the universe is finite. I feel inclined toward SIA, but I generally reject anthropic reasoning (that's perhaps a statement about myself rather than about your arguments).

(Also, I require more detailed arguments to dissolve Fermi's paradox because I don't believe paradoxes exist in reality.)

How would you evaluate correctness of something untestable?

I don't know whether this counts as a correctness assessment, but my expectations do not vary with the trueness of MWI, so it's a needless hypothesis.
