Thank you for sharing your views!

And until now, no experiment has falsified the hypothesis that the quantum world acts randomly...

Within the scope of a particular investigation, if it was found to be a uniform distribution, the statement is accurate. But such a determination cannot be projected beyond the scope of the investigation to apply to the universe as a whole, multi-verses or across dimensions.

Again, one cannot say something is random in the system if he does not know what the system "is."

What's this bizarre obsession with the uniform distribution? There is no uniform distribution on N or R... So, no scientist will assume that it applies for the hole universe.

And I fail to see how your post is related to my post #53.

Again, one cannot say something is random in the system if he does not know what the system "is."

And we cannot say that something is a straight line if we don't see the hole line.
Do you see the problems with your statement? In the physical world, there is nothing we know to be a straight line - and there is nothing we know to be random. Doesn't stop us from doing geometry or probability theory - and geometrical or statistical physics...
