   Only if you accept the Copenhagen interpretation of QM; which I don't.   
   There _is_ no reason to choose one interpretation over another - they're   
   about what the theory _means_, not what it _is_.   
      
   If you think about it, the Copenhagen Interpretation is self-referential   
   to a degree which makes it look suspiciously implausible, to me at least.

   So you say.   
      
   But that's _all_ you say: your "arguments" consist of woolly rhetoric and   
   dogmatic judgements.   
      
   A bit more "meat" would be nice, if you are able.
