You are spitting non-sense... that's not what is asked. He will do *both*
from a 3rd POV.... but each Bruno can only live *ONE* stream of
consciousness which is *either* M or W, it's not both. So before
duplication, the probability (or measure of you prefer) is 50/50 for the
destinations from the POV if the guy standing in H. *IT'S THE SAME THING IN
MWI SETTING AND I DON'T HEAR YOU CRYING NONSENSE ABOUT IT ON EVERY POST*.
Be consistant and reject MWI as an obvious BS crap.
