I've read Mr Kent's paper, or most of it (I'm afraid with limited time I skipped a few

appear to say anything for or against the MWI except that (a) he obviously doesn't like
it, and (b) some people have apparently misunderstood some of its implications (or
perhaps (c) /nobody/ understands its implications, which would put it in the same
position quantum theory was in for at least its first 50 years, though without the
experimental successes to bolster belief that it's correct).
His proposed test doesn't strike me as terribly useful, if only because he seems to have
roughly approximated the reproductive strategies of (most) male and female animals that
care for their young - the males tend to follow the "tripe or bust" strategy, the
females the "slow and steady" one, for reasons that I believe are obvious to any
evolutionary biologist.
It's not obvious to me. Did you take a poll to support your guess?
