No, you are mistaken (but could easily be my fault)... What I said was that quantum theory provides explanatory power, but that quantum states (i.e. uncollapsed wave functions) cannot be directly shown to exist - thus I agree with you. I do NOT assume the reality of quantum states.
And how do you explain Aspect's experiments? Aspect's stuff shows non-classical correlation. How do you derive (or explain) the actual results without resorting to the wave function?
For example, take three polarized lenses (sunglasses are a good source); look through two of them and rotate one until no light is transmitted. Then put the other lens in between. How does the light get through now? Hard to explain without non-collapsing wave functions.
