Science can be viewed as an endeavor to give coherent explanation to bewildering array of observed phenomena. Sometimes there is simply no other way to get around complicated theory. At other times, they are slightly off track, and end up generating two many complicated theories.

Weinberg appears to be leaning to the latter. We could be subconsciously trapped in some preconceived notion, even a certain deep-rooted philosophical view.

You make a point, but the trend has been that the more experiments are done, the more quantum theory is confirmed.

There is a great deal of disagreement about the interpretation of QM and how it relates to the everyday world, but experiments aren’t helping us much there (and that’s why there is so much disagreement).

100 years of confirmation bias at work.
