It's not an out of hand dismissal.
I also assume you mean "that does not mean they can
NOT be manipulated into appearing at the macroscopic level as well."
Well, I think it does. As do every single physicist I've heard or book I've read. The Heisenberg Principle
requires the "energy borrowed" (for such things as quantum tunnelling or virtual particles) to be repaid within an almost infintesimal amount of time. We're talking about actions and periods at the Planck level here.
Very small.
So, to recap, I
didn't dismiss them. I just said that they're so statistically unlikely at the macroscopic level as to be effectively impossible.
