I certainly don't think Scott belongs to the Oxford school. He's probably just one of those people for whom the existence of probability-like numbers in the density matrix is enough. (The flaw of this perspective is that you need these numbers to appear in your ontology as the relative frequencies of something, because that's what they are in reality.)
