The issue is not, (1) does this method of FTL communication exist? The issue is, (2) does orthodox QM imply this possibility? (1) can only be tested by experiment, but no compelling reason has been given to believe it. Unless you or anybody else is interested enough to actually *fund* the experiment, it won't get done. On the other hand, (2) is possible to discuss mathematically. The problem is that Sarfatti evades all attempts to construct a rigorous description of his apparatus and calculations. You seem to have a good grasp of quantum mechanics - so can you tell us what he's talking about?
