Because I spotted a blunder in the "proof" about 3 years ago and

However, as far as I know you've failed to communicate the blunder to
anyone else
in a way that they agree with. To me your attempts to explain it sounded
like
semantic quibbling rather than any deep insight into something Bruno has
got wrong
(but maybe I just haven't got my head around it yet).
I remember a long discussion where John ended up changing his claim that step 3 was
wrong to it just being trivial. But then he still refused to keep reading. At this
point I decided he was not serious about the issue.
It is the least that we can say.
He insist that all what I say is wrong, but that he never read anything after step 3,
which means that he criticizes without reading, with his own admission. That is the mark
of the non-scientific attidtude.
That shows also that he is not saying what he thinks, but repeat something he heard. It
is a parrot. Still, it would be polite to say who influences his thinking about this,
and it would be polite to at least try give an explanation, not a dismissive shoulder
shrugging accompanied by lies, insinuation, or false attributions.
I don't think step 3 is at all essential to the argument. It's nothing but setting up an
analogy to Everett's MWI to show how uncertainty and determinism are compatible - all of
which JKC already accepts.
