Superposition explained as a joke

Scientist A: We don’t exactly know what information a quantum state holds.

Scientist B: But we can interpret the information in a way that makes sense in a certain basis of measurement.

Scientist C: So… we do know?

Scientist A: No we don’t! We can guess at best.

Scientist B: Well, since nature isn’t deterministic, the probabilistic guess is the best we can do…

Scientist C: So… we don’t know?

Scientist A: Are you even paying attention? We can find the information about the state by measurement. So we do seem to know in a sense.

Scientist B: But still we don’t know what the actual information is, since the information we recover depends on the measurement we design.

Scientist C: I’m confused. So we know or we don’t? Just pick a side, guys.

Scientist A: We know that we don’t know, at least not for sure before we measure.

Scientist B: And still then we don’t know for sure!

Scientist C: So we don’t know the information before the measurement and even after we aren’t sure? What would we even call such a condition? Unknown informative state? Dependent informative state?

Scientist A: These names sound like we, as scientist, don’t know what information a quantum state holds. I don’t like it a bit.

Scientist B: I agree with A. Scientists cannot just claim that we don’t know about something to the general populace…they’d lose their minds! And we will lose our intellectual high ground!

Scientist C: So what should we do? Just call it a hybrid condition that is a mixture of the basis states of our measurement?

Scientist A: But that’s just wrong conceptually! It’s more like all possible basis states are simulataneously present in the quantum state before measurement.

Scientist B: But how do you know you’re right? We know for sure that we don’t know anything about the state before measurement and we have no way of knowing that for sure.

Scientist C: Stop guys! Please just stop! My head is hurting. Let’s just call it a “Superposition” of state and call it a day.

Scientist A: Agreed.

Scientist B: Strongly agree.

Scientist C: Sorry, juniors. But why should only we suffer this pain with ambiguity of the universe?
