Not to argue against the strangenous of QM, but for good reason I don't
buy any of the different variations that I've seen of this particular
argument:

Yes there is.  It's called continuity, which is probalby the most
fundamental and powerful theory in existence.  For without it, no other
theory would be worth jack.  It's the reason that Einstein hated the
Copenhagen interpretation so much that he said... "god doesn't throw
dice"... or whatever.

Because it requires an unfounded leap of faith to assume otherwise until
contrary evidence is provided... which it has.
