Larry Niven mentioned something similar to this, regarding his... um... Future History books (the ones with Beowulf in them - and the three-legged centaur aliens).
At one point in the series he postulated that the centaurs had been breeding the humans for luck - we'd become the luckiest species in the Galaxy. He later on said that, if luck was an inheritable trait then it would be the best inheritable trait. Everyone would have it already.
Presumably the same thing would go for QM waveform non-collapsure; it must be useful somehow. Not that it makes any sense.
Back to our regularly scheduled reasoning...
