Hmm, it looks like wikipedia does give the "consciousness causes collapse" position more credence than I had expected. But that may just be the equal time fallacy, as its cited proponents have titles like "founding director of the Center for Ecoliteracy." I've never run into it in person among physicists.

EDIT: Of course, what you used in the article wasn't the "consciousness causes collapse" position at all - not even those people, by and large, would agree that if you mistake a sleeping cat for a dead one, that kills it.
