But if you amplify the micro superposition and throw in a cat, you get an absurdity. Maybe Schroedinger was *also* trying to show that the interpretation of *micro* superposition is not correct. AG

Yes, I think he did.  But he was wrong about that.  Bohr saved the theory by declaring that there was a classical world and a quantum world,  which worked pretty well because everybody's intuition about the Heisenberg cut was about the same.
