Detectors are placed at the exits to the slits while the boat is in
the slits. Whenever the detectors are at the exits to the slits, the
boat is detected exiting a single slit. When the detectors are not at
the exits to the slits, the boat creates an interference pattern on
the shore.

Do you insist the boat enters one or both slits depending upon their
being detectors at the exits to the slits when the boat gets there in
the future, or are you ready at this point to acknowledge the model is
a failed model and the boat creates an interference pattern on the
shore because of the water?

Does the model get the predicted observations right? Then it isn't a
failed model.

Of course QM is a failed model. The fact you just had to insist the
boat enters one or both slits, never mind the fact the boat always
enters a single slit, depending upon what is going to occur in the
future has just failed your model.

You do realize, in nature, the boat always enters and exits a single
slit and it is because of the water the boat is able to create the
interference pattern on the shore?

You do realize your model is failed from the start but you refuse to
accept it and just keeping making it more failed, if that is even
possible, but the additional nonsense like the future determining the
past.

I insisted no such thing. I said IF there were such a model, then yes,
I would insist on it. Since there is no such model, I don't insist on
it.

First you have to have a model that makes accurate predictions, you
see.

Why would I realize that, when there's been no test of that model
against experimental measurement?

It's not my model, it's a HYPOTHETICAL model YOU proposed as an
analogy.
And it wouldn't fail until its predictions conflicted with
experimental results.

I know you don't like it. Repeating yourself doesn't change anything.

Again, we are discussing the analogy where the 'correct' model,
according to you, is of the boat creating the interference pattern on
the shore in and of itself.

When the experiment is performed where buoys are placed at the exits
to the slits while the boat is in the slits, the boat does not create
an interference pattern on the shore. When the experiment is performed
where buoys are placed and removed from the exits to the slits while
the boat is in the slits, the boat creates an interference pattern on
the shore.

You insist the boat enters one or both slits depending upon what is
going to occur in the future because that is the only way you know how
to keep your model from failing.
