"Perfection is the enemy of the good.” Is true in the human practical affairs, but that is not relevant in metaphysics, where we reason from precise hypotheses to get testable predictions and refute theories. The closest continuer theory is wrong when we assume Digital Mechanism. If you bet Moscow because it is far closer to Helsinki than Washington, you will be in trouble, and also, you will prevent finding the Born Rule or the Mechanist corresponding one, at the start.
