Yeah, actually it does. It's exactly what it implies, because it's what we'd expect to see if the world existed independently of that which observes it.
This BASIC bit of philosophy has eluded these 'sharp brains' for over a decade now (wrt my participation). I'm dumbfounded, I must confess
Why? You've never actually made the case for your "BASIC bit of philosophy". Mostly just chest thumping and cheesy invective. If you want to be taken seriously (and this is necessary if you want to accomplish what you say is your goal) then maybe you should start with what you'd expect to see if the world did exist independently of that which observes it. Or anything really, instead of just assuming that you're right.
