If you also believe in realism then you must believe you have found a flaw
in
​
Leggett's reasoning when that Nobel Prize winner came up with his
inequality. I am all ears!

I don't doubt it happened, but you should. The very heart the Copenhagen
interpretation is that things do not have definite properties
​before​
 they are measured, and I don't think there was much measuring going on 4.5
billion years ago. But I don't doubt it happened because as a fan of Many
Worlds
all I need is to believe a change, any sort of change, could exist 4.5
billion years ago. However
 a believer in Copenhagen needs to believe something called "measurement"
existed 4.5 billion years ago, and I have considerably more doubt about
that.
