So if we accept that it is indeed correct then observation leads us to conclude that the Multiverse must exist. The only reason the Copenhagen people assume the SWE is not correct is because they don't like the Multiverse, although they are unable to pinpoint where it goes wrong, they wave their hands and use vague words like "observation" and "measurement" but can't say exactly what it takes to do either. Copenhagen starts with the assumption there is no Multiverse and then tries to work backward to jury-rig the equation to keep the parts they like but get rid of the Multiverse, but they've made a dog's breakfast out of it.
