And Searle is an interesting argument for Griffith's perpsective. Searle rose to fame talking about stuff he knew how to do ("speech acts") and in his later years embarassed himself with bad criticisms of AI, as in the Chinese Room, his garbled continuation of the fallacy of the Philosophical Zombie.




It makes perfect sense, since Griffiths’ book is simply not enough to have a working knowledge of quantum, but might be barely enough to pass the GREs (I learned the Heisenberg and interaction pictures from Sakurai, not the pathetic footnote to a problem Griffiths relegates it to)
