I’m confused why “experimental evidence” is less convincing than mathematics. I’ve taught the first half of the sequence to others without even mentioning complex numbers, so my anecdotal experience is that no, people do not need mathematics to correct their intuitions.
You’re conflating experimental evidence (by which I imagine you mean the two-slit experiment and etc., correct me if I’m wrong) with everyday experience. The latter contains virtually no useful information about quantum physics. It entices us to think that matter is made up of particles, that observables take fixed values after being measured, and so on...
