That was enough. It's more of the same goblledygook that I've been reading in popular accounts for years. It's very 'literary' though. Nice prose. It's a convoluted way of saying that, until a measurement is recorded, different possibilities exist, and that values in some sets of measurements change in a related way -- but, it's certainly not an *explanation*.
