If you think we need to be more subtle, I propose that we adopt some qualitative principle (e.g., see below) as a practical assessment rather than as a formal assumption, and so we introduce "FAPP" (corrected as "for a practical purpose"). In my proposal I adopt "workability of QM".

I think that it is enough to assume "equal measures imply equal probabilities", but I do not remember seeing this claim before. (I am unsure about that.)
