I think Quantum mechanics need to modified to describe that class of
phenomenon that refuses to happen in the presence of an IT person. Every
day, users report computer behaviour that refuses to happen when I'm in the
room. Yesterday one person kept on crashing her machine doing a simple
procedure (booting up Windows! no, just a joke (nearly)) but I got her to
repeat the process 5 times without a hitch. I go out of the room and boom!
Call it the Unrepeatability principle or something.
