It is not about weather or not I like that QM makes "correct predictions" because reality is not about 'predictions." Is it up for vote? It is not about mountains of experimental evidence in favor of QM., because evidence is opinion based on fallible human observations (5 senses). Nature does not ask for anyone's opinion.

Tell me something: Is "Monkeymind" intended to be an avatar account, along the lines of "Clippy". If so you have absolutely nailed it. You have role played the mind of the human mind (with its monkey-kinship) as it grapples with understanding physics at a level that is beyond its usual scope of practical optimisation and you have done so perfectly. I just can't tell whether you meant it that way or not.
