Probably the same thing some people have said about atoms before they were 
observed.  Or molecules.  Or photons.  Or curved, dynamic spacetime.

Unfortunately, as I am not a specialist in inflation theory, and 
Stephen Hawking, who was a proponent of the multiverse hypothesis, has died 
recently, you will have to discuss your doubts with Brian Greene, 
Max Tegmark, Alan Guth, Andrei Linde, Michio Kaku, David Deutsch, 
Leonard Susskind, Alexander Vilenkin, Yasunori Nomura Raj Pathria, 
Laura Mersini-Houghton, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Lawrence Krauss, or 
Sean Carroll.
