Yes, I get that..., my issue was with its application (a movie recommendation)... the idea itself isn't qualified for the quantum realm...

I don't see how this follows.

Besides, "subjectivity" concerns the subject, "objectivity" the object. The former is a matter of how an object is received by the observer, and so all perception is subjective in that sense; it can't be otherwise. But the subject can become an object of another subject. We can infer with varying certainty what someone is more or less likely to enjoy based on our knowledge of what they like.

As long as you accept subjectivity, you must also accept that logical inference isn't really useful... because the observer can add rules at any given time - without any logical constraint - thus preferences aren't deterministic... so a random option is as good as it can be.

The application, method and algorithm needs to be separated. The application is movie recommendation. One of the methods which works pretty well for this is low rank matrix completion. There are several algorithms for this method, one of which is quantum.
