I feel that what Crystal is trying to say has an important point. People are made of their decisions. Even if there are alternate universes, people will still be different because of the different choices that people have in their lives. For example, if someone had made a decision early on in their life that had a big effect on their life, then you could develop into an entirely different person because of what happened.
Decisions is basically what molds our life. Who we are and what we become are all dependent on the choices we make. Sure, the petty situation described above might not influence our lives as much, but if one takes a look at the situation from a broader perspective, the acquisition of this knowledge will lead to demise. For example a person who intended to work hard and strive for their goal might give up and think that his 'alternate self' will accomplish what his current self is not doing. This will put the society that exists in this dimension into critical danger because there would be not enough people that have the intelligence and capability to maintain it.
If a different universe is created after every decision that you make, then there will be an infinite amount of universes with you in them. Since you make many different decisions during your lifetime, you could develop into completely different people in every universe that you visit. For example, if in one universe, one of your family members that you were close to decided to smoke and ended up dying of lung cancer, than you would be a completely different person than if that family member had decided to not smoke and was still alive. The universe with the dead family member would have a different version of you.
Another example of this could be a simple decision, such as if you decided to turn either left or right. In 1 universe, if you turned left, you would have encountered different things than if you turned right. The different things that you encountered could affect you in different ways. You would develop into different people depending on what you encountered. Such as if in 1 direction, you met a group of muggers, and the other way, you encountered police.
