I'm largely in CD's camp. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable to have a horse in the race. If I did have to choose, I'm squarely in the shutup and calculate crowd. Interpretations are fine for pedagogy and as an aid to thinking about the equations, but they smell too much like metaphysics to me, and I'm inclined to agnosticism on any metaphysical question, with the possible exception of certain ontological notions.

To the flames with them all, I say.



I tend to agree on most points you made. Put simply, if the math supports an interpretation, it's interesting, but not compelling - I want to see some empirical support, and that's the rub, isn't it?
