Que dirait Dirac (2): We are the Bohr, resistance is futile

Here are some quotes from section 2. The polarization of photons, itself part of the first chapter The principle of Superposition .
"Questions about what decides whether the photon is to go through or not and how it changes its direction of polarization when it does go through cannot be investigated by experiment and should be regarded as outside the domain of science." [may I call that obscurantist?]

"It is supposed that a photon polarized obliquely to the optic axis may be regarded as being partly in the state of polarization parallel to the axis and partly in the state of polarization perpendicular to the axis." 

"When we make the photon meet a tourmaline crystal, we are subjecting it to an observation. We are observing whether it is polarized parallel or perpendicular to the optic axis. The effect of making this observation is to force the photon entirely into the state of parallel or entirely into the state of perpendicular polarization.

Before all that, Dirac had declared: "It is known experimentally that when plane-polarized light is used for ejecting photo-electrons, there is a preferential direction for the electron emission."

What if, as I have argued, photons, whatever they are, do not have any direction? Imagine again the lit space as a grid with growing cells. Whatever obstacle is put in the path of the light, it will only stop a part of it, and only for some time or distance.
Think now of a polarization filter that only lets vertical light through. What does it really mean when particles have not direction to select them by?
We can imagine vertical slits, or on the contrary, horizontal thin wires to let only "vertical" photons. Since the grid cells are expanding, this filter will only work for short distances, as proven by Ezekiel. Moreover, because light is not really moving as much as matter is reacting to whatever causes it, also particles which would be considered "horizontal" would very soon start to react, contributing to the "corruption" of polarization.
Which means that we do not have to assume a mystical superposition of states anymore. Particles which are stopped at one moment, are free to pass at the other. And that has nothing to do with us observing them and making them leave their blessed state of superposition.

I honestly cannot believe that people took Bohr and his friends seriously for so long. But then, who knows? Maybe magic ain't dead!
As Ramzi Suleiman said in a private correspondence "Einstein was the first to convince physicists that our intuition and logic are not to be trusted. Quantum theorists went [much further] in their fantasies."
