Yes. If somebody proposes a theory that would have profound physical
and philosophical implications and a key ingredient of that theory is
something called "measurement " that seems to have magical abilities
and nobody can even approximately explain what a measurement is, much
less how it works it's magic, then that theory is 100% extra virgin
triple distilled premium grade CRAP.
Decoherence theory does explain what a measurement is. But I guess it's
easier just to keep saying everything you don't know is crap.

Speaking of crap, Einstein once asked Niels Bohr a very interesting
question, "/do you believe the moon doesn't exist when you're not
looking at it?/". Apparently Bohr's response has been lost to history.
