In response to Jon McCombie's friend Mike Davis's view of alternate
universes:

The bit string idea simply doesn't work because it assumes the decisions
are the same in all the universes.  Take two universes identical up to
decision N.  Universe A decides "yes" for decision N, Universe B decides
"no".  Quite likely then that decision N+1 will be different for the
two universes.
