It's fundamentally a statistical process, you cannot make precise predictions about singular events. I'm not sure why there is this trope about physicists not "understanding" it just because its not as simple as predicting cannonball trajectories. Observations are special because you cannot observe with interaction, case closed!

Not sure why you would believe the opinion of an evolutionary developmental biologist about Quantum Mechanics /s
