It is as ambiguous with MWI, if it is true, you are duplicated a gazillon of times every nanosecond... yet are you ambiguous ? do you live gazillons of events simultaneously right now ? I guess not... is this in your opinion a proof that MWI is false ? I can't make sense of people who accepts duplication by MWI and accepts assigning probabilities in MWI but not in a "classical" duplication experiment which in the end has the same result... *You* have been duplicated, but for an unknown reason you do not want to acknowledge that fact with MWI.
