And thus, given that bosses rarely understand what it is that going on
inside the box anyway and seldom open them, we would then have large
numbers of "undead" aka pale skinned geeks that nobody is quite sure
are alive or dead, with little to no social interaction with the
outside world, and creating potential virtual worlds in the quantum
space, all existing in envelopes of reality that collapse if/when the
box is disturbed.

Just as Wikipedia proves what a million monkeys will produce if put in
front of typewriters (annotations on every episode of the Simpsons, it
seems), this seems to prove Schroedinger's Cat thought experiment is
quite accurate as well.
