And I have also been saying that even if for some strange reason you insist on something called "the conservation of energy" you can have it if you want by simply multiplying the probability of each branch by the energy in that branch because all the probabilities must add up to exactly 1, but why you would still want it is a complete mystery to me. And that's why I've also been saying from day one that this entire thing is either silliness squared or the square root of silly, I'm not quite sure which.
