If you have no account of what a theory claims about reality, then you can't say whether the experiment has been set up correctly so whether or not quantum theory is true, having no account of what it is claiming about reality is a problem. Another problem: a mathematical model has terms that have physical implications and if you deny those implications then you're being inconsistent. | |
