But unless you have concrete reasons for thinking otherwise, I think that is a reasonable assumption to make, it is certainly better than the assumption that a principle can never apply to anything that has not yet been proven to exist, or the assumption that if something hasn't been proven to exist then it can't exist. And at least Many Worlds tries to explain how the quantum realm can possibly behave so weirdly; Copenhagen, a.k.a. Shut Up And Calculate, says don't even try to understand it, just give up.
