Doesn't a mixed state satisfy the Ignorance Interpretation by definition? Concerning a pure state, does it negate the Ignorance Interpretation because it's a linear combination of pure state vectors in some Hilbert Space? Brent was emphatic, writing "exactly wrong", that the Ignorance Interpretation could be applied presumably to a linear combination of pure states, but never proved his claim. OTOH, Quentin, offered a possible example why the Ignorance Intepretation could not be applied to a linear combination, presumably consisting of basis vectors, but had a typo near the beginning of his example, which I flagged, but which he hasn't corrected, so I gave up on his example. So, what is the status of mixed and pure states with respect to the Ignorance Interpretation, and why? TY, AG
