gbhibbsa, I'm getting a bit confused here. All I said is that wavefunction collapse isn't an observed fact, which seems to me a fairly reasonable statement, because we can't observe entities like wavefunctions directly, and we certainly can't observe their collapse directly. Some people would say we can't observe *anything* directly, but under the normally understood meaning of "observe" it seems reasonable to say that we observe the images on our retinas, and hence that we can observe the dots on a screen, and we can also be reasonably said to be able to observe the pattern they make. I'm not saying anything about the MWI or Copenhagen or whatever here, merely that (in normal usage of "observe") we can observe dots on a screen, and we can't observe abstract theoretical entities like wavefunctions, or their collapse.
