I've argued this before, but it's worth stating again. It's a misintepretation of superposition to claim that a system described by it, is in all the component states simultaneously. As is easily seen in ordinary vector space, an arbitrary vector has an uncountable number of different representations. Thus, to claim it is in some specific set of component states simultaneously, makes no sense. Thus evaporates a key "mystery" of quantum theory, inclusive of S's cat and Everett's many worlds. AG
No. It changes the problem to the question of why there are preferred bases.
