On the other hand, There's probably always a caring and positive solution to such conflicts which is superior to the alternatives.

My 2c, Jo. P.S. Quantum mechanics works, and seems to make mathematical sense ... until you get to renormalization, which is basically a sophisticated form of ancestor worship (goes well with bowing towards Copenhagen). And one more thing --- as quantum mechanics is and must be non-local (EPR paradox, Bell's experiment) why does almost everyone make fundamental Hausdorff assumptions? (Or what am I misunderstanding here?)
