The opposite is also true. Theoretical physicists who say the multiverse doesn't exist set a dangerous precedent: science based on zero empirical evidence.

Isn’t that what called a hypothesis. It stays tgat way until you have empirical evidence either directly or for what it predicts..

The multiverse theory has merit inasmuch as it keeps our thinking flexible, but no other merit that I can see. It seems wildly impractical.

You make a good point that this might merely be a simple case of failure in scientific writing. Let’s not forget that this explanation isn’t any crazier than the collapsing realities theory! In fact, I think it became an alternative because it makes more sense

An important part of science is the ability to play with possibilities. Not every claim needs to be verifiable at the point of utterance. Really, logical positivism is out of fashion for half a century, and for good reasons.

The many-worlds theory was uttered in 1957 and the intervening 60 plus years has not produced one single shred of evidence in its support

Where science can not reach, linguistics does. Very respectful human science, as well.
