Ah, I knew this rang a bell. Reflecting on this a second time, I wonder whether it is possible to interpret this as the universe not caring until the information interacting actually matters. For example, if someone tells me that they have measured a value, they could very well be lying, and until I say "prove it, what value did you measure?" the underlying implementation of the universe is in a superposition where they both did and didn't measure the value (where the friend is telling the truth vs lying).
