Good post, and I basically agree with this. I do think it’s good to mostly focus on the experimental implications when talking about these things. When I say “many worlds”, what I primarily mean is that I predict that we should never observe a spontaneous collapse, even if we do crazy things like putting conscious observers into superposition, or putting large chunks of the gravitational field into superposition. So if we ever did observe such a spontaneous collapse, that would falsify many worlds.
