But with complex numbers, it seems a little too lucky that the rule for
multiplication, "derived" using the crazy formula i^2 = -1, would turn
out to be just what we need. This issue, of course, is not unique
to quantum mechanics; I find it a bit spooky wherever it comes up in
physics. Probably I just don't understand the math deeply enough.
