It only took a minute to prove that false. From
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_ring>: “Hundreds of
gravitational lenses are currently known”. Also: “The degree of
completeness needed for an image seen through a gravitational lens to
qualify as an Einstein ring is yet to be defined.”

I was talking full rings as predicted by Einstein.

Partial rings are a dime a dozen.

Now go find the other missing billion rings Einstein predicted.

Never mind that the Einstein ring’s found can be explained by stacks of
clustered galaxies doing normal light dispersion.

And there are other, subtler kinds of gravitational lensing. A link
from <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens> mentions a
survey of older data that discovered 1210 new lenses, doubling the
number known.
 
Not that this really has anything to do with quantum theory ...
