Sure, that's probably a more precise way to say my complaint. The special role of taking a measurement/observing an observable. Unpacking what is and isn't measurement was what drove me nuts in undergrad and I never got an answer that satisfied me. We learned how to calculate the probabilities of each thing that would be measured, but not what counts as measurement. I guess all I'm saying is that, in hindsight, I would have done so much better with a clearer delineation of 'this part over here is an interpretation question and isn't settled, but this other part over there is math that is settled empirically' rather than being taught 'here's an interpretation that's true and here's the math for it.'
