Sorry. I don't care whether an idea was influential or not. All I care is whether someone has a better explanation.
I'll remind you of the quote that started this thread:
"Do quantum computing folks really think that we are borrowing capacity from other universes for these calculations?"
In this context, your opinion and Deutsch's opinion don't matter. The question is about whether the idea is common in the field or not.
