We can be 100% certain that the naïve ignorance interpretation is false because it fails the all important experimental test. It makes the wrong prediction. I already pointed that out in my long post about Bell's Inequality. * *If you want to know if the ignorance interpretation is true or false you can't just sit in your arm chair and think about it, you've got to get your hands dirty and perform an experiment. People have performed such an experiment, and received the Nobel Prize in 2022 for doing so, and the ignorance hypothesis, at least the naïve version that involves local hidden variables, fell flat on its face. * That's exactly what I wanted to know; I was even going to suggest it myself; whether Bell experiments falsify the Ignorance Hypothesis. BTW, the Ignorance Hypothesis trivially implies Realism.
