Ordinary experience provides no clue of this [Heisenberg's] principle.

Not necessarily true. As the uncertainty principle is a consequence of Fourier analysis, most electrical engineers would have seen the same thing in non-QM settings (as would mathematicians working in Fourier analysis.)

Thank you for your correction to the professor's comment:

Ordinary experience provides no clue of this [Heisenberg's] principle.

The examples you gave were electrical engineers and mathematicians. The professor may not have been thinking of those experiences as "common."

Perhaps a footnote there would help clarify it in the final article!
