"Physics marches on..."
Blah, blah, blah...
What is Reality?
"Heisenberg and Bohr always described quantum mechanics in logical positivist terms. Bohr also took an active interest in the philosophical implications of quantum theories such as his complementarity, for example. He believed quantum theory offers a complete description of nature, albeit one that is simply ill-suited for everyday experiences - which are better described by classical mechanics and probability. Bohr never specified a demarcation line above which objects cease to be quantum and become classical. He believed that it was not a question of physics, but one of philosophy." ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality )
"...in logical positivist terms"
What is Logical positivism?
"Logical positivism, later called logical empiricism, and both of which together are also known as neopositivism, was a movement in Western philosophy whose central thesis was the verification principle (also known as the verifiability criterion of meaning). This theory of knowledge asserted that only statements verifiable through direct observation or logical proof are meaningful." ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_positivism )
Re: "direct observation or logical proof"
Boiled down to direct observation (empirical science) or logical proof (basic logic)...
"Empirical science" vs "basic logic"...
("Empirical evidence is information acquired by observation or experimentation. Scientists record and analyze this data. The process is a central part of the scientific method." https://www.livescience.com/21456-empirical-evidence-a-definition.html )
Observation (empirical science) vs logic.
Ergo, "Empirical science is not basic logic. Logic is a non-empirical science."
...blah, blah, blah. LOL :-)
It appears that you missed my point.
