More to the point, if asked the question "which slot WILL the particle go
through", there are also four possible answers. And no matter which answer
you give, it is very easy to devise two experiments - one guaranteed to prove
you predicted correctly, and the other guaranteed to prove you predicted
incorrectly, provided only that ONLY ONE of these two experiments is carried
out.
