Yeah, this is the kind of bullshit that I'm talking about :-) A cognitive algorithm cannot "choose" a quantum branch to "continue into", it always continues into both. The perception of choice relies on logical uncertainty about the future output of your deterministic algorithm, not on quantum uncertainty.
Yeah, that's an issue. I suppose I could get around that by emphasizing that it's just a desired branch, and the metaphor would still work.
But then again, maybe I should just let it die. :-)
