According to Quantum Mechanics depending on circumstances sometimes you get interference and sometimes you don't, and we're talking about analogies here and what it would take for the copying machine stuff to be a good analogy for the MWI. If there is no interference then there is no problem, but if there is interference then you can't make an analogy with the copying machine stuff unless you allow the Moscow Man and Washington Man to merge into one person just as the 2 universes merge into 1 universe after the electrons went past the slits and hit the photographic film and produced interference. > MWI postulates that all outcomes of an experiment occur, Yes and they all those outcomes occur in different universes, and the MWI also postulates that if 2 of those universes are similar enough sometimes they can become absolutely identical again (for example when the electrons that went through the slits hits the photographic plate), and when that happens the 2 universes merge and a interference pattern forms.
