Are all observations of quantum nature, that the macroscopic universe is just a montage of microscopic interactions we have experienced?

You might get a bit of a debate about what it means to 'observe', but as a whole i'd say yes most people would agree with that given a few provisions (like maybe QM isn't the whole microscopic story etc)
