The uncertainty is not exclusive to QM and is a property of any ‘wavy’ system, it seems. It is inherent. Here is the example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MBnnXbOM5S4 — if you want to defeat QM, attack its wave-part.
It would be nice to have much better (deterministic, measurable) physics, but some properties just emerge from a fundamental level and you can’t do much about it (monster group etc). Nature and maths don’t care about our confusion and convenience.
>should have refuted it and looked for something better instead
Afaik, the time when theories were driven by ideas is over. Today it’s petabytes of data that you can’t really argue with over a mailbox, only discuss. (I’m just a layman physicist with deep interest, but shallow understanding, so please don’t quote me on any of this)
