If hypothesis A makes no prediction for a certain observation, but hypothesis B does, and observations match the predictions of hypothesis B, then B is to be favored over A at least with respect to these data.

Since the multiverse hypothesis can explain anything....it really explains nothing.

Can it? I earlier linked to a mutliverse paper where the authors make a prediction, namely that parameters should be pushed towards catastrophic boundaries in parameter space by the a priori probability distribution. We live in such a universe, and the recent Higgs boson discovery has provided us with yet another instance where this seems to be the case
