I don't see how.
I pointed out that is inconsistent with SWE to say that anything
possible actually happens. "Possible" needs to be qualified. For
example the SWE in a Young's slit experiment tells you that the
probability of a particle striking the detector is zero at some places.
It's logically possible for a particle to strike there, but not
nomologically possible. Similary if you measure the value of a variable
for a state you can only get values that are eigenvalues of the
operator. Others are logically possible, but not nomologically.
