So sayeth my 89 year-old grandmother . . .

"Most of the men I know beat women."

Forget about all the men at church, family members, friends and acquaintances, whom she has known for years who DO NOT beat women. Evidently, this includes me. When I asked her directly, her response was "You don't have a wife or girlfriend." And she stuck to her guns and repeated this awful slur when I challenged her on it.

WOW.

Confirmation bias might be operating on grandmother's mind.

(It probably works on most of us. The really big problem is when so-called scientists torture their data until it confirms their supposedly independent & objective judgement.)
The spreading of information about the [quantum] system through the [classical] environment is ultimately responsible for the emergence of "objective reality."
