Yeah, I hate that with a passion. It confused me for so many years, and I really don’t feel like the concept is so complex, that you’d need the analogy even.
It helped my understanding a lot, to recognize that science isn’t free from journalism/people just trying to find the most engaging stories, not necessarily the most relevant or well-understood stories.
An analogy like Schrödinger’s Cat, which feels like it’s easily understandable and which seems like an obvious contradiction, despite coming from a top scientist, that’s an easy article/video to write.
And don’t get me started on the entirety of science-fiction, with its universal agreement that teleportation and time travel should be a thing, even though scientific evidence is practically non-existent.
