I think that's really the problem. When I say "it's not a wave", I'm saying 
you don't get any of the same measurements from one particle that you'd get 
from a wave. There's some wave-like stuff going on, but not in a way that 
you'd normally say the photon *is* a wave.


For more fun confusion, what does multi-world say about stuff?
