> Ruth: Here's an example: some researchers wanted to believe that quantum states describe our knowledge but not the full reality of quantum objects, if that full reality can be characterized by physically real but unknown properties (and other apparently natural assumptions about the relationship of those hidden properties to the quantum state). A new theorem by Pusey, Barrett and Rudolph (PBR) proves that QM is in conflict with that belief. So it has to be discarded.-You appear to be stating that we can never completely understand quantum mechanics, even if our calculations work so well.
