OK, and I said : "No problem then", because (as a logician perhaps) I
seldomly discuss assumptions.

But still, although I agree with Mirek that comp (as I define it, i.e.
CT + "yes doctor") is a very strong hypothesis, the negation of it is
also quite strong, if not stronger. For believing in non-comp, you have
to believe in actual physical infinities and/or in genuine third person
indeterminacy (like copenhagen and anti-everettist). You could perhaps
elaborate abit, if you have the time.
