How well done is the poached egg?

Have you actually read this and is it any good as in serious?

I liked his description of entanglement as "a kind of holism". It expresses the mathematics better than talking about one measurement affecting another.
x(∅ ∈ x ∧ ∀y(yxy ∪ {y} ∈ x))

Lovely to see you and your use of the ad hominem fallacy too.

QM isn't my thing and I got lost with this, and gave up half way through. All I could tell was that he was saying its confusing and vague. NS, if there's a particular part that you would like commenting on then points it out else I'll opt for the poached egg.  ;D
