<t>One of the points I had hoped to bring out in my musical analogy was that a waveform is not something which can have a definite point-like position in the first place. It doesn't even have a precisely defined center, since the ends of it necessarily grade in. This is equally true of quantum wave ...

The Deep Blue experiment was a great example: that machine didn't really "play" chess. All it did was calculate all the possible games from the current position then choose a move which was part of a game in which it would win. Uhh... This is not really correct. As it happens, even Deep B...

If I can figure out how to include some music clips, I'll post them here. They may make this example a lot more intuitive.
