This is already contradictory.  You cannot measure two things at the
same time, especially if both measurements require a finite time.  But
granted you use tow observers to do the two tasks in parallel, then it
may be done, but bear in mind that there are now two observers instead
of one.

Just focusing on this one statement, since this is amusing enough.....

Really? One observer cannot use two cameras?

Is a camera an observer?  If so, then now you have three observers.

Bonehead PD strikes again.

No, I don't think it is. Do you think it is?
Is a 3.5 megapixel camera a 3.5 megaobserver?
What about your eye, which contains about 125 million rods and cones.
Is each one of your eyes 125 million observers?

Hmmmm... bonehead?- Hide quoted text -

A shame.  You still use 3.5 megapixels.  I thought they were extinct.
Any measuring apparatus is technically an observer.

That's fine. A 3.5 megapixel CCD is 3.5 million measuring instruments
by that definition, and hence 3.5 million observers. Just want to be
sure you are sticking with that story.

Heh.

 Have you
forgotten QM?  Placing a detector at the slits changes the outcome?
What is a detector but another observer?

BONEHEAD.
