Abstract
We read Karen Crowther's Another 100 Years of Quantum Interpretation? with two practical goals. First, we spell out what she means by interpretation": an attempt to provide understanding (not just predictions), which may be representationalist or non-representationalist, and which she contrasts with deeper reductive (inter-theoretic) explanation - especially in the quantum-gravity setting. Second, we list twelve points where the paper's physics-facing wording could be sharpened. In our view, several claims are directionally well-motivated but stated more strongly than the underlying physics supports, or they run together distinct notions (e.g.\ degrees of freedom," singularity," and different senses of locality") that need careful separation. We end by suggesting that the philosophical question is genuinely worthwhile, but the physics should be phrased more cautiously so that heuristic motivation is not mistaken for strict implication.
