It’s been suggested that I’m the one who invented the idea that it’s obviously true rather than just one more random interpretation; or even that I’m fighting a private war for some science-fiction concept, rather than being one infantry soldier in a long and distinguished battle of physicists. Certainly your remark to the extent that “he should try presenting his argument to some skeptical physicists” sounds like this. Any physicist paying serious attention to this issue (most people aren’t paying attention to most things most of the time) will have already heard many of the arguments, and not from me. It sounds like we have very different concepts of the state of play.
Has anyone seriously suggested you invented MWI? That possibility never even occurred to me.

Can’t help but compare this to the Swiftian battle of big-endians and little-endians, only the interpretational war makes even less sense.
