I cannot help but think that because of of limited telescopes and neutrino detectors and the like, that we are still missing what is going on in the Universe. I am not trying to say, "here be dragons," but suspect that there will be, "Here be anomalies in specific and reliable laws that we measure over and over. Hossenfelder is still, despite superdeterminism, a very conservative voice in physics. I don't think she dabbles in anything that your fellow Texan Hugh Everett did, or Max Tegmark does.

Personally I think that idea is nuts because I simply can't imagine a more egregious violation of Occam's razor than Superdeterminism.
