Mentioning Heisenberg for some of these people is like reciting the syllables "second law of thermodynamics." Just meaningless sounds, but they imagine it gives their pronouncements a touch of scientific mystique. Then there's the non-existent "law of biogenesis," but it's a different kind of error. Still, it involves mindless name-dropping. Funny, how they often invoke what they imagine to be science when it suits their purposes, while denouncing the real thing.

.... a mantra to ward off evil spirits?

Very true. But I thought we'd give the newbie the benefit of the doubt, and afford him the chance to make his case. Not that I can see how the product of the uncertainties in position and momentum being larger than Plank's constant divided by 4 pi has anything to do with what he said.....
