Well the reason that it is "wrong" is that for many people (generally the ones outside of scientific endeavours) the interpretations are physics. Let's face facts : most people are never going to learn even basic physics beyond high school level, and oversimplified "philsophy" is all they'll ever know. (As my philosophy professor said: history seems to indicate that science is the way to be right, and philosophy is the science of being wrong)
And the opinion that interpretation doesn't matter, there's equations, and what they say takes precedence over whatever a human mind produces. That they don't fit well in any of these "interpretations" merely amplifies that belief (as it should).
It's a matter of perspective.

And some may turn out to be wrong (e.g. the hidden variable interpretation, which before Bell was considered just a different interpretation). So my impression is that the lay audience like hearing big words, even if they cannot understand it at all (but it is easier to delude oneself that one understands "many words" than a particular set of equations).
