Quantum models tend to require mathematical interpretation before they are in any way empirically testable, as in verifiable against observations. In that sense, one could call most models in quantum mechanics ”empirically unjustifiable”. Would you say models like QCD and QFT are ”not even wrong”, too, even though the Standard Model is based directly on QFT, which lacks a formal, generally agreed-upon mathematical foundation, and has multiple competing interpretations? Textbook-thumping zealotry has no place outside a church.
