Not in science. The two are the same. If it predicts correctly, then it describes correctly. I know you hate this, but it is true.

You need to demonstrate that the same predictions arise from the different conceptual framework. Remember, the predictions of QM *come from* the physical description provided by QM.

There is no *measurable* prediction there. What is the *measurable* outcome that distinguishes this? You really have no idea how science is done, do you? None at all. PD
