This is the sort of statement I expect from philosophers and not scientists.
That may be your expectation, but it's not mine. I believe (with a high degree of confidence) that the best we ever have is a Bayesian confidence in any hypothesis.

I think there's a big leap between "We can't test it" and "It's untestable".
I am not confident that humans 1000 years from now will still be bound by quantum indeterminacy. What we now model as probability fields may be in fact the result of a deterministic process which we do not yet understand.
