  Quantum Zeno Effect (QZE) is the suppression of the inter-subspace transition
by a relatively fast intra-subspace decoherence. Earlier, we had proposed a
QZE-based mechanism for the temperature-dependent normal-state c-axis
resistivity of the layered high-T$_c$ cuprate superconductors in which the
single-particle inter-layer tunneling is blocked by the strong intra-layer
decoherence (entanglement). We now argue that while the single-particle
inter-layer tunneling is thus blocked, the tunneling of the bosonic BCS-like
pairs must remain unblocked inasmuch as a BCS pairing condensate is an
eigenstate of the pair annihilation operator. This pair tunneling stabilizes
