I guess, Eliezer, that I would be concerned about convincing everyone that the universe runs along like a computer, computing amplitudes locally (which seems to be the gist of your discussion). To do so would certainly make people feel like QM isn’t confusing; it would just be wave mechanics. But this would give people a false confidence, I think, and is not how the universe appears to operate.
But this is the first post, so I’ll try to confine my criticism until you’ve wrapped up your discussion.
