Previous post: a nice illustration of the fact that knowing a little may well be worse than knowing nothing at all.
But with articles like this perptuating silly interpretations of QM, maybe it's no surprise that people think in sloppy ways about it. "in both states at the same time"??? Come on. With just a few more words, you could say something more accurate, or, if you're too lazy to find a philosopher or physicist who has thought CAREFULLY about these matters, just use the (correct) term 'superposition' and leave it at that.
