It's not a quote.  I made it up (when have I ever put words in your mouth?).  If there are two possible outcomes Heads and Tails then according to Everett on each trial they both occur, albeit in different "worlds", and hence there will be equal numbers of H's and T's regardless of whether the coin is fair or loaded.

Where did you get that quote from? It seems that you are indulging in your standard pastime of putting words into people's mouths. What I actually said was:

"This is in obvious conflict with Everett's approach in which every outcome occurs on every trial."

Which is not the same as your suggestion.
