That is actually what I meant. But the way you’re phasing it re-introduces confusion on the word “you”.
What this means is, neither branch is privileged, neither branch takes precedence, there is no soul that only goes to one or the other, the subjective “you” prior to duplication does have a 50% chance of experiencing either branch. After duplication, there are two people, who are both, objectively, “you”, but neither subjectively experiences being in two places at once.
One experiences the destination and subsequent existence, the other experiences a split second of dawning horror and then oblivion. Each time a “you” steps into the badly designed dupli-teleporter, that “you” has a 50% chance of either experience.
