Abstract
Quantum mechanics with a fundamental density matrix (W-QM) has been proposed and discussed recently. Moreover, it has been conjectured that the universe is not in a pure state but in a mixed state in W-QM. In this paper, I argue that this conjecture has several potential problems that quantum mechanics does not have.
