   Also true.

   I left "high school" about twenty years ago, if that helps.

   Superior, if I'm honest, a little.  Holier than thou, not really, more   
   agnostic than thou, perhaps.

   What's your motivation for posting again?   
      
   I'm also motivated by my belief that truth is important, so if I can   
   correct a factual mistake I usually will.   
      
   In that vein, I'm well aware that my understanding of QM may be incorrect,   
   and I'd love to hear from a real physicist on these issues.
