And if that's all you had said we wouldn't be having an argument,
but you insisted that classical concepts were also sufficient to
do science. You even claimed that an "explanation is in print"
that explains why the Quantum Eraser Experiment does what it does
and doesn't do what it doesn't do that, as my challenge specified,
uses only classical concepts. But you don't say where I can find
this revolutionary article that would certainly change physics
forever if it actually existed.

You seem to have difficulty remembering things I have said and yet
you find it very easy to remember things that I did *NOT* say,
therefore I will provide an exact quote of the challenge I gave to
you:
"Using only *classical concepts* explain to me how and why the
Quantum Eraser Experiment works."
And I am still waiting for that explanationfrom you. In fact for
about a century the entire world has been trying to find an
explanation for quantum weirdness using only intuitive classical
physics, and they have failed spectacularly.

What is a complete non-sequitur?

Again I will use exact quotes as I wish you had.My challenge to
you was:
"Using only classical concepts explain to me how and why the
Quantum Eraser Experiment works."
And the best response to my challenge that you could come up with was:
"/The explanation is in print which is classica/l"
Can you tell the difference between the above and "The explanation is
classical and is in print." You were just trying to move the goal
post. I never said there were not explanations using quantum concepts
like Hilbert space and the Born rule. This started with me pointing
out, like Bohr, that all science: experiments, records, results,
theories are necessarily in a classical world. To say that those
theories may postulate quantum world does not invalidate it.
