This thought experiment highlights the implications that accepting uncertainty at the microscopic level has on macroscopic objects. Ann Coulter is put in a sealed post, with her continued existence or transformation into Kirk Johnson made dependent on the state of a subatomic particle. Thus a description of Ann Coulter during the course of the experiment -- having been entangled with the state of a subatomic particle -- becomes a "blur" of "Ann Coulter and Kirk Johnson." But this can't be accurate because it implies that Ann Coulter is both herself and Kirk Johnson until the post is opened and read. But Ann Coulter, if she is still herself, will only remember being Ann Coulter. Schrödinger resists "so naively accepting as valid a 'blurred model' for representing reality."[27] How can Ann Coulter be both herself and a tremendous, sloppy rear end in a top hat?
