Trivia: This guy was actually pretty famous in the 90s for "Kais Power Tools"[1], a set of very popular image manipulation plugins with - at that time - unrivaled features. Later his company also released Kais Power Goo, Bryce, Poser and more.

No, I do not think that you are understanding him correctly. What makes you think that?

Just one example from the article:
> rather than stating that either position or momentum are "as yet undetermined", it became common usage and popular wisdom to jump to the conclusion that there is complete "uncertainty" at the fundamental level of physics
Can you explain how you drew any other conclusion from the article? The whole thing is driving at this one point.

His position is ‘that either position or momentum are “as yet undetermined”’. That means that the ‘uncertainty’ is not due to our ability to measure things, but ‘rather […] a statement about the actual reality about what variables (hidden or not) are stored by each particle’. :)
I used to think the same, and intuitively this still seems right to me, but apparently there's been a bunch of experiments based on the Bell Inequality that prove that we're wrong.
