> when Carroll talks about 'physicists not understanding QM', he's just unhappy that most physicists don't share his view about QM
I don't see that in this particular article (which is not to say it isn't there in other articles Carroll has written). In this article, he is simply pointing out that QM is the only physical theory we have ever had that does not have a single generally accepted interpretation. Not believing the MWI is fine (I'm not a fan of it myself), but that just means you have to find some other interpretation that works, and nobody has done that; every interpretation of QM has issues that nobody has figured out how to resolve.
