1. Causal determinism is true
and
2. The many worlds interpretation of QM is false.
The point I was making is not about these descriptions being absolute true descriptions of reality but about logical neccessity: Many Worlds shows that there is no logical neccesity that fully deterministic descriptions imply one possible future. In other words, the very definition of determinism should not be overstated in that way.
