The presence of the detector IS the experiment. The experimental
evidence associated with the experiment is the particle ALWAYS exits a
single slit.

Only in the absurd nonsense of the Copenhagen interpretation of QM do
you perform an experiment, where the result is the particle ALWAYS
exits a single slit, then say the opposite occurs when the experiment
is NOT performed, AND say that that supports the experimental
evidence.

You're wandering off topic again. The experiment to be performed is to
distinguish between the two theories about why you do not get answers
in response to your whining.

No, it isn't. We've just discussed this, and now you're repeating the
same error. You may want to read my correction again.

> Your model does not support the experimental evidence.

But it does. It fully predicts that the particle will be *observed*
exiting one slit when there is a detector at the slit. Note
experimental results are about *observations*, they are not about
presumptions about what happens when you're not observing.

Nonsense. That's not the experiment at all. Do you not understand the
double slit experiment?

No, it isn't. We've just been through that.

Sorry, that isn't the experiment at all. Perhaps you need to remind
yourself what the experiment is.

In order to determine if the particle exits one or both slits in a
double slit experiment, an experiment is performed. The experiment to
detect if the particle exits a single slit or both slits places
detectors at the exits to the slits. The experiment is called the
'Detector Experiment'.

The 'Detector Experiment' is performed over and over again with all
types of particles. After thousands and thousands of executions of the
'Detector Experiment' with hundreds of different types of particles
the particle is ALWAYS detected exiting a single slit. The 'Detector
Experiment' provides experimental evidence the particle ALWAYS exits a
single slit.

If you do not perform the 'Detector Experiment' and you assume the
particle exits both slits your assumption is not supported by the
'Detector Experiment' experimental evidence.
