In the double slit e.g., we can apply DeBroglie's insight, namely, that the entity detected at the screen behaves as a wave before detection, and thus goes through both slits and interferes with itself.

As long as I don't deny the existence of interference, there is nothing wrong with what I claim. And it does solve Schroedinger's cat paradox.
