If particles are distinguishable, there is no quantum-ness.
Why?

If there is no particle indistinguishability, all trajectories are distinguishable, then there is no case indistinguishability.
In other words, if every trajectory is well-defined, there is no indistinguishability of cases, even when no detector is installed.

In other words, how to define “every trajectory is well-defined” when no detector is installed?

Thought experiment:
In the double-slit experiment, turn on the detector. Then observe the pattern on the final screen.
Next, tune down the detector’s accuracy/resolution a little bit. Repeat the experiment. Observing the pattern again.
Keep repeating the experiment with a little bit lower detector accuracy/resolution at each iteration.
.
If a non-classical pattern never appears on the final screen, we can say that each trajectory is well-defined.
In other words, if the trajectory concept can predict correct experiment results, we say that the trajectory concept is well-defined.

It is because the final screen itself is a kind of detector, although not a position detector.

So it is a kind of Bell-type experiment.

However, this definition of “every trajectory is well-defined” has a problem.
If the trajectory concept cannot predict correct experiment results, “the trajectory concept is broken” is only one of the possible causes.
In other words, how can you know the non-classical results (aka quantum effects) are not due to other factors?
