I disagree and you have missed my point. The quantum mechanics interpretations to which I referred are not hypotheses, they're theoretical interpretations and mathematical models that have been devised in order to make sense of the available empirical evidence gathered from observations and experiments, such as the "double slit experiment", for example.

No amount of "but -a- can't do so-and-so will ever make -b- a viable option. That's work you'll have to do yourself (and I'm willing to bet you'll use reason - and back up your proposition with tangibles and evidence...such as above).
I have presented examples (such as in post 130 on page 13), in which I have demonstrated that there are some areas where pure rationalism requires supplementation.
