>>>> First, there's no consensus among physicists on any particular interpretation, so right off the bat that should tell you that we are missing something really deep.

One thing it should tell you is that we have not been "interpreting quantum mechanics wrong this whole time" because we've made relatively little effort to arrive at an interpretation at all. During my time as a physics student, deeper philosophical issues weren't mentioned in class, and it seemed like the Copenhagen interpretation was grudgingly accepted as a de facto standard in order to just get on with life.

We knew there was some activity in the area of finding a more philosophically pleasing interpretation, and one or two seminar speakers talked about it, but it just wasn't a big deal. Many physicists even questioned the value or physics-ness of the pursuit.
