In nonmathematical terms, the urge to assume that the system is always in either state |1〉 or state |2〉 springs from the widely accepted ontological premise that ``everybody has got to be someplace,'' reputedly first enunciated by Groucho Marx in response to a question posed by an indignant husband.
