You should probably use a different word. Quantum entanglement is a very specific thing, and is not applicable to what you're describing. The apple is red (if it is) because red photon are reflected while other colors are absorbed. Not because they have entangled with the apple skin.

I'm not blaming you. The article said it. But they were being very sloppy with their terminology, so I can't really take them seriously. Good science writers will simplify, but not confound terminology.

You appear to have missed the substance of the article. The writer was reporting on the lifelong professional work of practiced scientists, not making something up on his own. The point is that Professor Zurek is challenging the long-standing paralysis in quantum mechanics with verifiable insights. Perhaps you too have 30 years of expertise in the field of quantum physics to validate your dismissal of his innovative work. If so, please share your well-reasoned rationale in that context.
