The following (while not wrong) is hard to read.
You lament that people think "a particle does have definite position and momentum" but don't go on to state that they do not have definite x and p. Why not state this unambiguously?
> This can lead to a bit of confusion, because a lot of people take that to mean that a particle does have definite position and momentum (I mean, all things do, right?!) but you’re sadly not able to find out what it is. Maybe because trying to measure one changes the other – logically that makes sense, right?
> But this is QM, so until you start turning it into computer games, it won’t make sense
