To give a little context -- Ron is at a level to have a meaningful exchange with the likes of Gerard 't Hooft and Peter Shor on the suitability of certain classes of quantum model, as evidenced by 't Hooft's taking the time to reply to Ron in the body of this question 't Hooft raised on physics.SE [1]. I cannot speak for others here, but I am not yet sufficiently up to speed to merit a response to any objections or concerns that I may personally have about certain classes of quantum model; 't Hooft and Shor would just ask me to go read a dozen textbooks on the subject.
