Oh? Just isolate the whole universe. That should be easy.
The box too is interacting with the environment. So it's like the
Zeno effect. Although there is a probability at each impact of
producing a coherent tails component, those components don't sum to a
finite component over a finite number of impacts.
The Zeno effect makes you "staying statistically" in the universe,
like the non-isolation of the box makes you impossible to have access
to the universe where the coin felt on the opposite side, but without
collapse, the superposition can simply never disappear.
I can never disappear, but it cannot reach a significant probability for
tails in several ages of the universe.
