I'm a lay person when it comes to QM: I get my information from Brian Greene's excellent books. I kind of think it is going too far to say that it's pseudoscience and poor metaphors that make it seem like magic. Readers of the popular scientific accounts learn that the various slit experiments with partial observation etc show that these subatomic particles behave like spreading waves of probability until they are observed at which point it's like a sample is taken from the probability distribution. That seems very magical to me and has done to many scientists over the last century, right?
