Obviously. That was my point: it is but a simple analogy. There are no actual bubbles in bubble sort, either.
As for my theory -- I suspect that whenever quantum physics is mentioned, a certain brigade of users like to take the opportunity to look smart by showing off their (in this case largely irrelevant) knowledge of quantum physics. (While simultaneously showing how they fail to grasp the concept of simple analogies, and so actually appearing the opposite. But then I'm zero_iq, so what do I know...!)
