    but isn’t the quantum superposition still how we understand quantum mechanics to work? he may have coined the metaphor to criticize but if it ended up being an accurate representation of a useful concept then who cares if he intended it to be absurd?

      It’s how we understand it but it does show, or at least suggest, that we still don’t fully understand what’s going on at the quantum level.
