But the reason people believe QM is because of overwhelming empirical evidence, not because it seems right.
You can't just go "QM has many surprising aspects" to "this other theory also has surprising aspects, it's probably true".
If we had been having this conversation before some of the more bizarre quantum effects had been observed it would have been a fair comparison, but we are way past that point.

I didn't say it's probably true because of this argument, you're saying it's probably false because it seems magical, and that's the implication I'm disputing with that analogy.
I do think it's plausible that noise could be correlated for the reasons I specified, but not because of the "magical" analogy.
