I think this is inaccurate. The story is that Bohr said that people that criticise QM are like the person who puts a horse shoe over his door and doesn't believe it brings good luck, but puts it there anyway because it works even if you don't believe in it.Hornbein said:They say Lev Landau and Richard Feynman looked quite alike.
Neils Bohr had a horseshoe over his door. When asked whether he believed it brought good luck he said no. "But they say," he continued, "that it works whether or not you believe in it."
