"Schrödinger's Cat" is not an idea that, until observed, the cat is both alive and dead; that is what Neil Bohr and Werner Heisenberg suggested in their early quantum theories: that EVERYTHING exists in more than one state simultaneously, and will not exist in one state until observed (or something like that, I'm paraphrasing).
Schrödinger used the cat/box situation to express that their theory doesn't make sense on a macro scale.
He's saying that.. to believe the cat is both alive and dead until observed is fucking stupid. It's obviously dead.
That's why those t-shirts that said "Schrödinger's Cat is dead" on them were so popular ten years ago.
I choose to believe Zach knows this, but chose to express it specifically that way because it would be easier, since that's what many people believe anyway :F
