added an addendum regarding cartesian reps and spherical reps per OP's comment.

| Nov 30, 2020 at 16:04 | comment | added | JEB | That's why I mention coordinates. $\vec x$ depends on theta and phi. I will add an addendum that will convince you...because it is what convince me. | |
| Nov 30, 2020 at 15:12 | comment | added | Noumeno | I was following you until you re-written my equation (1). I feel like you breeze through it without properly showing why we can say that the equation is true, and this was one of the main points of my question. Don't get me wrong your answer is useful but I still have some perplexities, like: Y is dependent upon $\theta$ and $\phi$, but in the left hand side of the equation there is noting dependent on $\theta$ and $\phi$, so where does the dependence come from? I would expect something like $\langle \theta \ \phi| l \ m\rangle$. I think that you could expend on the derivation of equation (1). | |

corrected error about theta phi pure state.
