You can get every conclusion you want out of QM without any wavefunction collapses, so there's no need to discuss it (depending on your purpose) and if you're an MW-er you'd argue that, further, there's no reason to believe that it even happens. Since there are several self-consistent "piles of words" that all talk about the same math but contradict each other, (Does the wavefunction collapse? Does 1600s literature simulate the simulacrum?) not talking about it seems completely justified.

I don't think so.

> "piles of words"

I definitely agree about the piles. Maybe ordinary language is just to feeble for this stuff.
