This is what you said previously:

"If the model that the boat created the interference pattern in and of
itself got the answer right where no other model was able to make the
same successful quantitative prediction, then yes, I am right. This is
how science judges whether theories are right -- by whether they work,
and that means whether they make better quantitative predictions of
observations than other models."

"In science, the proof of understanding what is going on
is based SOLELY on the ability to predict quantitatively what will
happen under so-and-so circumstances. That is, in science, if you can
say "If you set up so-and-so circumstances, then you are guaranteed to
see such-and-such result in this specific amount," and it does in fact
come out just as you said, then this is solid evidence that you
understand what is going on. That is how science works.

And since I can do that, then by scientific standards, I know what is
going on in nature."

If the model which makes the most correct quantitative predictions was
based on the boat creating the interference pattern in and of itself,
that does not mean the model accurately reflects what is physically
occurring in nature.

Only in the nonsense of QM must you ignore experimental evidence and
jump to illogical conclusions.

If you always detect the particle exiting a single slit then this is
evidence the particle always exits a single slit.

In AD, the particle always exits a single slit and it is the
particle's aether displacement wave which exits multiple slits.

Note that I said IF the model that created the interference
pattern....
I did not say there WAS such a model.
I'm telling you the criterion for a model being right -- making
successful quantitative predictions.
You don't have a model that makes *successful quantitative
predictions*.

When you do, then it's correctness can be assessed. Not until then.

Geez, you're slow.

If the model, *regardless* what it is based on, makes accurate
quantitative predictions, this DOES mean the model accurately reflects
what is physically going on. Until the model makes accurate
quantitative predictions, you cannot assess whether it accurately
reflects what is physically going on or not. Do you get this yet?

The conclusion QM makes is not illogical. Your conclusion is not a
logical conclusion. It is an unwarranted extrapolation.

No, it is NOT. I've told you what it is evidence of. You are
extrapolating this to be true in all cases, whether there is a
detector there or not. That is not a logical conclusion.

IF the model is based on the boat creating the interference pattern in
and of itself makes the most correct quantitative predictions that
does not mean the model reflects what occurs physically in nature.

Incorrect. I know this is impossible for you to understand, but simply
because the model is able to make more correct quantitative
predictions than other models does not mean the model reflects nature.

For example, IF the model which is able to make the most accurate
quantitative predictions is of the boat creating the interference
pattern on the shore in and of itself that does not mean it reflects
what is physically occurring in nature.

Simply because the model is able to make accurate quantitative

Of course it is illogical. It is complete nonsense. If you detect a
boat exiting a single slit a million times, then just because you do
not detect the boat exiting either slit does not mean it exits both.

A boat does not exit both slits because you do not detect it.

The C-60 molecule is just as much a self-contained object as a boat is
and to think the C-60 molecule exits both slits, after you detected it
a million times in a row exiting a single slit, just shows how much
nonsense you have to believe in in QM.

OK. So we have two concepts. One is, even though you detected the
particle exiting a single slit one million times in a row, when you
perform the experiment the one million and first time, you place
detectors at the exits to the slits while the C-60 molecule is in the
slits. In one concept, the C-60 molecule enters one or multiple slits
depending upon their being detectors at the exits to the slits in the
future. On the million and second time, the C-60 molecule exits both
slits.

In the other concept, the C-60 molecule always enters and exits a
single slit and it is the displacement wave the C-60 molecule creates
in the aether which enters and exits multiple slits.

Now, logic dictates the second concept is more correct because it is
what we see in nature if we were to perform the experiment with a C-60
molecule in a superfluid. It is also similar to the behavior we see in
nature if we were to perform the experiment with a boat. It is also
more logical to not have to choose to believe the future determines
the past. It is also more logical to believe the C-60 molecule always
exits a single slit because every time we have detectors at the exits
to the slits the C-60 molecule exits a single slit.

With the addition of one word, QM nonsense disappears:

A moving particle has an associated [aether] wave.

IF the model is based on the boat creating the interference pattern in
and of itself makes the most correct quantitative predictions that
does not mean the model reflects what occurs physically in nature.

Of course it is illogical. It is complete nonsense. If you detect a
boat exiting a single slit a million times, then just because you do
not detect the boat exiting either slit does not mean it exits both.

A boat does not exit both slits because you do not detect it.

The C-60 molecule is just as much a self-contained object as a boat is
and to think the C-60 molecule exits both slits, after you detected it
a million times in a row exiting a single slit, just shows how much
nonsense you have to believe in in QM.

Oh yes it does. That's precisely how science determines which model
most accurately reflects nature -- by whether it makes the most
accurate quantitative predictions. That is EXACTLY how the best model
is determined.

Yes, it does. In science, the model that makes the most accurate
quantitative predictions in the broadest set of circumstances IS the
model that best reflects nature.

It does if a model that says it doesn't makes the correct predictions.
