Just about any random statement is "sort of" reasonable if you can get those words to do enough work - and you're asking "sort of" to do a lot of work here.HighPhy said:Is this compatible with the fact that a particle (or the cat, in the paradox) can assume sort of two states at the same time?
I know that a tossed coin will eventually land either heads or tails, so I can say that while it is spinning through the air it is sort of assuming two states at once - but it makes way more sense to say that while it is spinning through the air its state is neither "heads" nor "tails", but instead "spinning through the air".
Three pages into the thread and you are still treating natural-language statements couched in vague and imprecise language ("sort of" may be a new extreme of vagueness and imprecision) as if they are statements of fact. It won't work.
