I like that! You know, before QM, people could watch a horserace and infer that the probabilties of which horse would win, place, or show, would change dynamically in real time. When the race ended, no one wondered what happened to that dynamic probability distribution. It was obvious it no longer applied, since the race was done! Today, the situation has become obscure and unintelligible, and like a religion, there's no apparent way to cure the true believers.
