Pure quantum interpretations are not viable

Abstract
Pure interpretations of quantum theory, which reject the classical part of the Copenhagen interpretation without adding new structure to it's quantum part, are not viable. This is a consequence of a non-uniqueness result for the canonical operators.
Added some new arguments, rewritten others
