Oh - oh, you meant the interference? No, no, I meant - I'm sure you remember that debacle in my lab a few months back? The more follow-up I've done on that, the more signs are pointing to the Porter as the source. It's subtle. A spin here, a quark there. Little errors that, on their own, wouldn't be a problem, but as you start scaling up they propagate catastrophically. Whatever wave function the Porter's using, it interferes with mine. Maybe vice versa, too, I'd need more data - but that's not the point. That interference is present everywhere the wave function exists, which is to say, everywhere. Omniscience has nothing to do with it.

... Except the observer effect, possibly, but you don't need omniscience for that.

[Things Qubit should be working on: probably not this.]
