with QM, the "unobservable" stuff is just guaranteed to not be there, eg a particle detected at (x,t) is definitely not at (x',t); so you are observing it "not existing there" -- collapse just makes the measurement

this is just wrong you could say "it's just matrix multiplication"; but then quantum mechanics (and thus chemistry, biology, and everything on top of that) is just linear algebra
