But that's exactly what happens in you hypothetical MWI example.
If you say it's fine, then you're simply saying probability is meaningless. I wonder
what measurement you'll accept to falsify a theory ?
The theory is in how the probability is calculated. I'd regard that theory, QM, as
falsified in your examples. In fact that has been used (wrongly I think) as a criticism
of MWI since it implies infinitely many worlds where QM has been empirically falsified.

You can as well say collapse is saved because P=10^-6 > 0 and so probability
calculus is working just fine. Collapse and MWI use the same probability
calculus.

Yes but in QM + collapse it is a potentiality which happen according to the
probability in mwi it is a proportion, it always happen. If the event
always happen
your prior probability calculus is severly broken. Mwi is saved because in
mwi
probability are not about happening but are proportions in qm+collapse it
is about
happening.

No, I say it can no more happen in collapse theory without *a very good*

with a
1/10⁹ probability of occurence and every time you test it, it
happens... I'd
say your prior probability calculus is screwed, so without a *good*
explanation, your theory can be said to be falsified. As I said, the
*good*
explanation with MWI is that *it does* happen.
But MWI also predicts P=10^-6.
