Comment:

I would readily concede your point IF it had been established that the
Probability Calculus rests on secure epistemological foundations.

Absent any showing to that effect - and I am persuaded that no such showing
can be made with respect to quantum phenomena - it is possible that the
error may lie on the other side.
