I recall an Aesops fable:

The blind men and the elephant. One blind man felt the elephants tail and declared that the elephant was like a rope. Another felt the elephants ears and declared that the elephant was like a palm leaf. Yet another felt the elephant's side and declared that the elephant was like a wall...etc, etc etc.

I'm thinking that presently in regard to QM we are blind men.

I refuse to beleive that logic is invalid. Eventually the proper framework will be developed and it will all make "sense" That's the closest I have to a "faith"...but I beleive it very strongly.
