This has a few interesting corollaries, ISTM.
1. It hints that there might be a way to distinguish the pilot wave interpretation of QM
from the rest, which could be handy
I doubt that since Bohmian QM is just another way of writing Schrodinger's equation. Bohm
gave it a certain interpretation different from Bohr's, but mathematically they must be
the same.

2. It hints at eternal inflation (the second bit of support for this in the last few
months, assuming the BICEP results stand up). EI gives rise to a "Level 1" multiverse
which makes the MWI's multiverse redundant, in a sense.
3. It DOESN'T explain how the universe formed spontaneously from nothing, however! It
explains how a patch of false vacuum or whatever which obeys the Wheeler-deWitt equation
could have generated an expanding space-time, and given 2. there is no need for anything
to appear from nothing - we have a steady state cosmos, on the largest scale.
