Upvoted because, while I don’t know the details of the Copenhagen models, if it is true they rely on “the concept that anything that is unmeasured is in an uncertain/undefined state”, then until some method of testing this state is devised the theories are effectively pseudo-science.
The Popper essay, originally mentioned above, describes the problem nicely.
It doesn’t speak to the truth or untruth of the theory, just to its scientific status, or lack thereof. In a nutshell, if it’s not testable, it’s not scientific, whether it is true or not. This is why it should not be taken too seriously, at least not until it becomes testable.
