Those who introduced cars with four wheels should be forced to justify that decision. If the first television was black and white, then that should be the standard. Those who introduced televisions with colour should be forced to justify that decision. If the first living organisms had single cells, then that should be the standard. Evolution should be forced to justify the decision to move to multiple cells. If light exists as a wave, then that should be the standard. When an observer collapses the wave function, then they should be forced to justify that decision. -- Daniel Morris daniel@honestempire.com
