I don't think this criticism is correct, at least in response to what was said.

Yes, a classical bag containing classical balls doesn't reproduce quantum behavior, because of Bell's theorem. But GP's description isn't classical; it explicitly invokes multiple universes. Once you've done that, quantum behavior is reproducible, because (just as Bell's theorem says) it's no longer possible to ascribe a single hidden state to the ball/bag system, because you can't eliminate the extra universes.
