Note that the OP wasn’t asking about physicists, but people… explicitly “bright middle school children” for example. It’s certainly possible that the lack of differential predictive power or experimental validation for MWI explains that, but I’m inclined to doubt it.
Good point, I missed it in my original reading. Certainly “bright middle school children” are unlikely to spontaneously discover the definition of correctness which matches either Eliezer!correct or Physics!correct. Certainly it’s still an open issue for adult professionals.
