Bigotry is abound, apprently, within these boards.  There is a level of supposed tolerance I will have no part of.  Obviously, it seems to be well-embraced here.  I have finally found something more fucked up than what I'm used to.  Congrats. - Ruby

This may simply be the result of a very incomplete understanding of quantum behavior, but as I understand it the main deviation from classical logic is that rather than having one "yes", there are multiple "yeses" that all exist with equal probability. In a sense all this means is that you are dividing up as well as dividing down.

Which is probably a horribly inarticulate way of describing it, but it's how it makes sense to me.

IOW instead of "this happens 1/3 of the time" the answer means "this 1/3 happens all of the time".

I like it.  And when someone asks, "well, then which third is it?" you just say, "go check, and let me know."
