Exactly. I am constantly astounded by professional scientists who try to find a deeper meaning in mathematical models whose only purpose is to predict experimental results. Human brains work on intuition, but when dealing with imperfect models such as Quantum Mechanicns (QM), there is no intuition to be had. If Quantum Mechanics or General Relativity were perfect, we wouldn't actively be looking for a unifying theory to resolve their mutual inconsistencies.
Once we have a theory of everything, then we can begin trying to form an accurate intuition underlying the model. Until then, there is no point trying to intuit probabilistic models which are designed to predict experimental results, and nothing else.
