This is one comment from the book that had lasting effects on me and I'm glad you're here to hopefully elaborate. Can you clear up the extent of that effect?

Suppose you measured the electron and then immediately discarded the information rather than commit it somewhere that you could later catch a violation of physics? Is it the accessing of information, or the retention and usage? If the latter, then I agree with the Whoa guy.

If the wave function collapses just from an instrument interfering with it, then that's not that impressive and I can sleep at night.

As a tenured professor, at the epicenter of this concept, do you feel that there's a "smart culture" that involves constantly having to prove one's intelligence, and if so, is it annoying or dogmatic?

I, for one, feel cromulently that this is the case.
