One could argue that hidden variables and poor resolution are to blame for chaotic systems.

afaik the point with chaotic systems is that even if the system is deterministic and your measurement of the initial conditions is near-perfect, your predictions will diverge from the real thing pretty quickly, because any errors get magnified a lot
If you try looking at finer and finer details, you'll quickly run into quantum effects and the uncertainty principle. If even the smallest parts of a system aren't deterministic, how can the outcome be predicted?
