In the case of Schrödinger’s Cat, Schrödinger was criticising the København interpretation, in which there is a distinction drawn between classical and quantum worlds. In this and other thought experiments, if somebody who makes such a distinction might be listening in, then you have to make sure that they will accept that the relevant event is quantum. (Sometimes you also want to have precise probabilities to work with, too, so it helps to specify exactly what quantum event is the deciding factor.)
This is the reverse of supposing that something is not a quantum event and hoping that those who don’t make this distinction will accept it.
The “degrees of probabilistic freedom” are reduced as you increase the number of random actions. The outcome becomes more and more determined.
Yes, but we’re back to the objection that there are still a small portion of worlds that come out differently.
