I'm willing to believe experts when I know nothing about a subject. Given the apparent current reception of MWI[1], I concede that things are not looking good for Everett. On the other hand, arguments trump authority[2]. And Eliezer produced specific, very convincing arguments in favour of Everett. To this day, I don't know of any specific strong objection to his writings on the subject. Therefore I believe him. (For now. Please let me know if you know of any objection he did not address.) Physicists say "probability amplitude"? I don't care. I'll go on saying "amplitude" alone. The term is less confusing, and physicists will understand me regardless.
