Great. Then we grant provisional existence to every batshit thing and have to incorporate an infinite class of nonexistent things into our contingencies.
Sounds like a stealth version of Pascal's Wager, with all its itinerant flaws, not the least of which is inconsistency and an inability to act due to the sheer number of possible worlds to be contemplated.
This is simply the gambit of those who want you to take their ideas seriously, but not anybody else's. It is simply a way to smuggle a special pleading into the discussion under the guise of being reasonable.
Nobody reasons this way, and for good reason.
