For example, he alleges that decaying radioactive atoms in our bodies create branches when they decay, but doesn't link that claim with S's equation. I suppose he implicitly claims that decaying atoms obey S's equation even if they're not being observed. And his answer to energy requirements for these new worlds seems weak, that energy is somehow globally conserved while the energy in particular branches can decrease, or possibly increase. ISTM that he relies on his interpretation of superposition to get his many worlds, more than relying on S's equation.
