There are things called laboratories, where physicists conduct experiments, some of which are quantum experiments with probabilistic outcomes. The world in which such things exist, I call THIS world. Worlds postulated to exist based on the claim that any possible measurement, must be a realized measurement in another world, I call OTHER worlds. Those OTHER worlds are imagined to exist based on the MWI. These are simple facts. I am not making any emotional appeals to anything. The possible oddness of the Cosmos is not affirmed or denied here. I agree the Cosmos might be odd, possibly very odd, but this has nothing to do with our discussion. The core of my argument is that since the trial outcomes in quantum experiments are independent of one another, there's no reason to claim that each of the OTHER worlds accumulates ensembles, as an ensemble is created in THIS world. Without ensembles in those OTHER worlds, the MWI fails to affirm the existence of probability in any of those OTHER worlds.
