    built on naive interpretations of Bohr.  Some are just assumptions, e.g 
that physics
    must be time reversible and linear.

I thought linearit was probabilities adding up to one, which isn't a radical 
assumption???

I didn't say it was radical. The SE is linear which means the linear combination of any two solutions is also a solution. It's sufficient to preserve probability, but not necessary.


Time reversibility is an observed phenomenon in (almost) all particle interactions, so surely not an assumption at all?

CPT symmetry is a consequence of Lorentz symmetry.  But CP is violated...so.
