   That is not what "the experimenter declares", that is   
   rather the gist of Schroedinger's paradox, that *the   
   theory* says the cat *is in a superposition of states*,   
   and what the "paradoxical" consequences of taking   
   the theory at face value, i.e. for serious, may be.   
      
   So, it is not clear what *the theory* means: which,   
   as I have been explaining in another recent thread,   
   overall is a question and an issue of ontology...
