Nah, I've had some Physicalists (on Reddit, at least) state as much, when I bring up the power of conscious observation to collapse the superposition.
Neither of which have any objective empirical evidence, nor can they. Which is amusing, because I thought Physicalists were obsessed with objective empirical evidence. Instead, they will believe in mathematical constructs when it is convenient. Which is really a nice summary of their beliefs ~ they confuse mathematical constructs with reality, believing the map to be literally the territory.
