Hurkyl said:Nothing needs to be cited; you have already accepted all of the premises of my argument refuting your claim that the evidence does not contradict realism. You just refuse to put the pieces together! You already realize that the papers you have been citing only apply to a specific class of realist theories, and you have already admitted that BM (a realist theory) cannot be falsified (assuming the correctness of quantum mechanics). But for some mystifying reason, you keep clinging to your claim that realism has been contradicted by the evidence. I don't see how discussion can fruitfully if you refuse to participate in a rational manner.
Its not a dead cert BM cannot be falsified. It would be a severe mistake to think we won't ever improve our knowledge about the genuine state of quantum systems. No doubt you will hope for hell that is really is an unfalsifiable theory, if it can even be called a theory. But that's the telling part is how you feel the very lack of proof one way or the other, re BM, is something to boast about. That takes the biscuit.
Hurrah for the (apparent) unfalsifiablity of BM!
