Hi,

I think I understand what you're getting at, now, and the position you're
criticising is not a point I would want to defend, so I will back out, now.
Except to point out that just because some crackpots misunderstand and/or
misuse QM doesn't mean QM is invalid.  I don't think you were claiming that,
but a casual reading of your email could give that impression.

All history is revisionist, by definition,
