In posing the question, I want to give its advocates such as Clark the opportunity to justify the postulate. It goes way beyond the MWI and QM. E.g., it means that if someone puts on his/her right shoe first this morning, there must be a universe in which a copy of the person puts on his/her left shoe first. It seems way, way over the top, but oddly many embrace it with gusto.
