Or perhaps instead, we can just put Mike into the box, assume a
superposition, and then the whole lot of us can go out and have a
drink because none of us really give a **** whether Mike's dead
or NOT!!! :-)))

Hardly. The reference to you being dead was simply an obvious pairing with
"Schrodinger's cat", where the possible death of the cat is a well know
issue in Physics. "Giving a **** about it" is simply a personal option on a
parody, NOT a comment on an actual event.
I can assure you in the abstract that if you actually had died, I don't
believe any of us here on RAM would feel the need to post something as cruel
and thoughtless as did the poster being discussed here now, which was a
comment expressed on an actual event.

Thanks for clarifying. If nothing else, your comment about "not giving
a **** whether Mike's dead" was an indirect and meanspirited reference
to an actual event (e.g: the "Autocollimator" debacle). Now, I don't
have the first clue what Schrodinger's cat is all about, but if you're
so damn intelligent why did you insist that I was wrong about Kramer
having conversations with his imaginary playmate to puff up his ego
and to flame others anonymously? Or are you still out there with
Kramer in La La land and think his pathetic display of "arrested
development" never actually happened?
