If you fire electrons at 2 slits and do NOT observe the slits then a interference pattern is produced indicating that each electron went through both slits. Thus real path quantum theory needs 2 sets of physical laws, one for when things are observed and one when they are not. Many Worlds only needs one set of physical laws, and one set is more parsimonious than two. And if everything that can happen does happen then unlike its competition Many Worlds doesn't have to explain exactly what a "observation" is or worry about the true nature of consciousness because it has nothing to do with it.
