   Do you have a preferred explanation? How can the (appearance) of   
   these classical states follow from the QM description of states   
   in a superposition with unitary time-evolution?   
      
   1) Is all this classical behavior just some kind of optical   
       illusion and are we really in a superposition?   
   2) Is the unitary time-evolution wrong and does the actual   
       time evolution project superpositions on single states?   
   3) Do you see a third way out?
