The point is only misunderstood when someone hears it, before then the point is in a super position where it's both understood and misunderstood at the same time.

It says something about modern physics that possibly the two most famous bits of it were named by people trying to call bollocks.

What it says, though, is too many STEM folk skimp on humanities and are just really bad at naming things.

If you make a point, but no one hears it, was the point ever made?
