No. It changes the problem to the question of why there are
preferred
bases.

Sean concludes there are many worlds by misapplying superposition
after decoherence. What has preferred bases have to do with this? AG
Superpositions are an artifact of using a certain basis. In principle
there is always a basis in which the world is a base ray.
