I don't object to the Many Worlds model. I *do* object to a common misunderstanding of it (which you probably weren't being guilty of in the first place) that I see in some ill-thought-out Alternate History fiction. For example, having there be a major change in Earth's past geology (e.g., Mediterranean Valley never got flooded by the Atlantic) -- and yet by the present day, though the politics are somewhat different, the Important People still exist with the same names and recognizably similar personal histories. It's easy to *imagine* such a world, but I do not believe such a world could actually exist.
