The Wikipedia article Quantum Indeterminacy discusses the measurement problem and possible reasons why measurement values are inherently random.
In the section labeled "Measurement", the Projection Postulate is briefly discussed. After explaining the Projection Postulate, in the second paragraph of that section, the author makes the statement "It is immediate from this that measurement in general will be non-deterministic.". To me, that conclusion is not obvious at all. Comments?
Thanks in advance.
