Also note the companion article “The quantum state can be interpreted statistically,” by two of the same authors. A previous title for this paper was “The quantum state cannot be interpreted statistically,” by the way.
This heavily implies that what’s being argued here is deeply philosophical, hinging crucially on the interpretation of “statistically” and therefore has a high probability of being incorrect.
