I would presume on how accurate measurements are. The problem (if I understand it) isn't the system per se, but that measuring it alters the system so you can't get an accurate picture of the system as a whole. It's more an epistemic issue I think than.

...Or I could be wrong? I defer to our resident physicist

Your notion is contrary to the copenhagen interpretation, which remains a major interpretation of the meaning of quantum mechanics.

Copenhagen interpretation states that quantum properties are fundamentally non-deterministic. It is the act of measurement which gives the property the appearence of being deterministic.
