The print is classical but the explanation is not.

Records of the results of experiments are written down classically, but the theories needed to predict those results must be quantum mechanical, and a quantum interpretation is needed to understand why those theories are so good at making correct predictions. * > To say that those theories may postulate quantum world does not > invalidate it.* > That depends on what the pronoun "it" in the above refers to.
