It's always amusing to see the kind of excuses that pop up when you try to explain entanglement or interference in the mindset of wavefunction collapse.

I'm still not entirely sure why so many people consider collapse to be simpler. Is it too daunting to think of the world as an amplitude distribution that propagates in a way that we're not intuitively used to? Too hard to think of ourselves as part of quantum mechanics, because that thing I see there on the measuring device must be the reality, damn it, and what the hell do you mean I've just entangled myself and the device along with the system?

Or maybe just tradition and accepting the "scripture" coming from the established authority. How could we best test that?
