Which may actually be just the one state that will result in the final
result, but we have no way to know what it is at that time.  Despite
claims to the contrary, when I've drilled into the details of quantum
experiments, the superpositions keep acting like they're actually just
one state - but an unknown one - and demonstrate no measured behaviors
inconsistent with that.  (Granted, measurement destroys the
superpositioning - destroys the uncertainty - but I'm including
behaviors that result in things that are subsequently measured.)
