If they weren't observable...then what are we observing in bubble chambers and the LHC - and how did we observe electrons doing -anything-..as you've just agreed that we did? Methodological materialism is -necessary- to science....for you to claim that some scientific theory does not represent that position is to claim that it is not science. Do you understand? Are QM and QFT not science, in your estimation? Simply claiming that idealism "happily subsumes" all of science..is a fallacy of, wait for it....stolen concept. What is the electron doing, that we've observed, again...... if you would be so kind?
If there were a way to answer a metaphysical question by science it wouldn't be called meta-physics...justs physics. We create models that explain our observations. This is reason to accept that those models are descriptive of whatever reality -actually is-..but it's not proof. The link is demonstrable in the success of those models to predict outcomes in this world -either the explanation is true or the universe behaves as though it were-, the metaphysical proof is not.
You're just as convinced by this link as I am...you reference QM -a necessarily material explanation- when considering metaphysical claims.
