Should we have, on first observing the results of the double split experiment, concluded that we are insane instead of inventing quantum mechanics?
Of course not. We should say "huh, I'm confused". Historically we didn't immediately leap to quantum mechanics from any of the various discrepancies that classical mechanics didn't explain, and we waited for a fair bit of evidence before accepting/inventing quantum mechanics. Probably slightly too much. On the other hand, the N-rays show that scientists are often too trusting of weird results.
