Did you notice that I said probabilities stand in for facts in some sciences (soft sciences)? Standing in for is an as-if situation, never equivalent to, but serving in place of.

Not just soft sciences, but physics. "Generally, quantum mechanics does not assign definite values to observables. Instead, it makes predictions about; probablility distributions that is, the probability of obtaining each of the possible outcomes from measuring an observable." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Quantum_mechanics

As I understand Quantum Mechanics, the best description we are able to make (statement of fact) about some kinds of events is, even in theory, a proposition in the form of a probability.
