What hypothesis? What about your hypothesis? Prove it? Whatever that is.

I agree that undergrad course aren’t enough, and I was being a bit hyperbolic given how complex high level science is. I agree that spending time studying these subjects is extraordinary- 200 plus hours as you said. I definitely agree that that vast majority of QM Phil is quite bad. I guess I was just angry about most QM phil which led to such a harsh response.

I’ve never understood why so many wannabe philosophers of science refuse to actually study and understand science. I think we should ban phil majors from ever referring to quantum mechanics unless they have taken more than 1 undergrad physics course.
