To make my point more strongly, that is the wrong way round.
Observation of statistics far from the expected value is what would
be required to confirm MWI.
I don’t see this at all.
The fact that we don't observe such results is the strongest
possible case against MWI!

The probability to see a deviation is the same in both Everett, and
Copenhagen. The deviation expected is the same, so if there is a
deviation, it can hardly be used to claim one theory is more correct
than the other.
But as Bruce points out Tegmark's machine gun experiment is
effectively being carried out by each of us.
That is quantum immortality. On this list I have defend this, but
Tegmark rejected it, and claimed that the survival to quantum suicide
does not entail quantum immortality. He might have changed his mind
since, perhaps.
So if each of us lives on a million years in some branch of the MW,
then each of us will experience 99.9% of our life as a very old
person among people younger than 100yrs.
Unless there are intimidate realities in between Earth and Heaven.
It would still imply that each person would experience only a small part
of their existence surrounded by other persons whose age differed by
less that 120yr from their own. And so each of us should be surprised
that we find ourself in exactly that kind of world.

That is the whole subject of mathematical theology. Computer science
justifies jumps and intermediate realities. It is not an obvious
subjects, but the nuances given by incompleteness provides some light.
Some personal experience, like with some plants, can help, but can
also mislead. Nothing is obvious, and everything requires a lot of work.
