It's neither fun nor satisfying to think about. It's theoretically impossible to design and run an experiment which would either falsify Copenhagen and not-falsify Many-Worlds, or falsify Many-Worlds and not-falsify Copenhagen. Unless we can do that (we can't) then arguing about Copenhagen vs Many-Worlds is just navel gazing.
I'm fine with arguing about interpretations which are experimentally distinguishable from Copenhagen.
