I'll answer your earlier post with work that has been done in the last 50 years after I've slept. But, you miss why QM is defended as it is. The reaction is as though you said "but evolution is just a theory." What would be helpful in thinking about this is asking why Feynman's response was to say "shut up and calculate" instead of pursuing the same intuative path Einstein did....and why his sucessors agreed with that assessment.
