Hmm. Well, this is true, but the point of such a condensate is that you 
have slowed the motion of all particles, as much as feasible, to the 
point where they **cannot** undergo any sort of transitions, beyond the 
ones they already undertook to reach the state. And, since such a 
state's simplest form is one where all particles are in superposition. I 
suppose, if you froze the cat... but, I think we would tend to agree 
that its alive/dead state would be a mute point after that. ;)
