They try to show that in the limit of [[Uncountable set|uncountably many]] measurements, no worlds would have relative frequencies that didn't match the probabilities given by the Born rule, but these derivations have been shown to be mathematically incorrect.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Benioff|first=Paul|author-link=Paul Benioff|date=October 1978|title=A note on the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics|journal=[[Foundations of Physics]]|language=en|volume=8|issue=9β10|pages=709β720|doi=10.1007/BF00717501|bibcode=1978FoPh....8..709B|s2cid=123279967|issn=0015-9018}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Caves |first1=Carlton M. |author-link1=Carlton M.
