I will wait for an argument. I think you have an inconsistent interpretation of QM without collapse. In case you really sucked in bringing a proof of FTL action in your QM-without-collapse theory, I would suggest to correct it until this do no more happen. Maybe that could require a quantum treatment of what is space (space-time) which does not really exist. By the way I proceed, non FTL are guarantied to not occur. To make ad hominem remark like “you obfuscate” show some lack of seriousness, only.
