I don’t think the “not having an actual value until measured”, properly understood, would seem like an optimization.
I don’t know why so many people feel like it would be an optimization?
Storing a position is a lot cheaper than storing an amplitude for each possible position.
One-hot vectors are much more compressible than general vectors, as you can just store the index.
Also, it is momentum and position that are conjugate, not momentum and speed.
Ugh, I just listed things from the top of my head, no rigorous correct physics!
I'd be interested to know where those so many other people who feel that would be an optimization are, because I don't often see opinions like this at all, only either rigorous physicists posting equations and papers, or people not knowing anything about it at all to even philosophize about it.
