We agree, but I'd put this slightly differently. QM is based on the
mathematics of statistics, and the mathematics don't change just because we
(try) to put a physical interpretation to it.

If there is error, its in how we are applying those statistics to explain
physical reality.

PS: Wow, too many cross-postings... trimming this one down to groups I read.

PPS: Speaking of statistics, asking for opinions, is this type of general
"properties of space-time" discussion to general for sci.space.history or
sci.space.policy?
