Don't be silly, David Deutsch is a professional physicist and knows
perfectly well, better than you or I do I'll bet, that Quantum Mechanics
can only make probabilistic productions.

As I've said before, nobody ever has to assume the Born Rule because
everybody already knows with certainty that it's true, they know it from
experimentation. And experimentation is the boss not theory, it always has
the last word.

Yes, a small amplitude means there are fewer copies of Bruce Kellett similar
enough to "you" to be called Bruce Kellett that observe the electron going
up than number of Bruce Kelletts that observe the electron going down. So
if a bet was made about what Bruce Kellett will probably see the smart
money would bet on the electron going down.
