    I will ask you the same question as I did Brent: do you conclude

    head or tails that the world does not split into two parallel

    I would conclude that a coin toss does not provide any evidence
    for multiple worlds or a split. The only evidence we have from
    this data is that the outcome of the toss is uncertain. There is
    no evidence there for any split of anything.


It is not evidence FOR a split but is it evidence AGAINST a split?

It is evidence that the assumption of a split is not necessary in order to understand everyday happenings. So, by the application of Occam's Razor, no split happens.
