Yes. The print is classical but the explanation is not. I also know
the difference between the cat is in the hat and the hat is in the cat.

Therefore you were never able to do what I challenged you to do, which
was "Using only classical concepts explain to me how and why the
Quantum Eraser Experiment works."

experiments, records, results, theories are necessarily in a
classical world. /
NO. Records of the results of experiments are written down
classically, but the theories needed to predict those results must be
quantum mechanical, and a quantum interpretation is needed to
understand why those theories are so good at making correct predictions.

invalidate it./
That depends on whatthe pronoun "it" in the aboverefers to.

This started with my point that we test, observer, infer, write papers,
attend conferences, discuss and write down theories, all in a classical
world. Everything we know about QM comes from observations, each of
which is seeing a result, not a superposition of results. This is the
basis of the Copenhagen interpretation. Do you disagree with any of that?
